Hi Ben, If they have only heard of MS Exchange and Notes, Notes has a version of Domino for Linux (as IBM are big supporters of Linux). As for Exchange, Samsung Contact (formerly HP Openmail) has an exchange like end user interface. The reason HP sold Openmail was because Microsoft threatened them as it was directly competing with exchange (These may only be rumours, but I was told this by the head HP sales guy in Melbourne). It is also a cheaper alternative. The websites for these two are: www.samsungcontact.com (new) www.openmail.com (HP's old website) and http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/welcome/domino
Give it a look and see if you can sway them.

Why not Linux! Anyway i'm building a new box with Postfix at the moment to see how it handles it. There is still the impression that "where do you get support from Linux if no one owns it?" type of thing. As I point out there are heaps of Linux savvy people and companies around that can support it. Trouble is Linux is unheard of by the "IT steering committees". They have only heard about Exchange and Notes. Linux needs to get some credibility with the committees and bean counters before it has a serious look in. How do you do that?
