Deja Vu???? Bite the bullet, Exchange is alright. And remember, THERE IS NO OPEN SOURCE REPLACEMENT WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY OF EXCHANGE. If you gotta have Unix look at Notes. And I am pretty sure the CEO didn't call it "outpuke". The variants M$, Micro$oft, Microborg, Lookout, Outpuke, etc... make Linux users/advocates look like zealots. Grow up. Join the workforce, realize that he who pays the bills makes the rules. In case you haven't realized, Microsoft shops are hireing about 10 to 1 compared to Unix shops. Chances are you will have to support at least some Microsoft products, why not make the best of it and realize that not everything they have done has been bad. No, Exchange is not as flexible as Sendmail, nor is it as difficult to use, nor has it had the pitiful security record of Sendmail. Sendmail, while an ass kicking smpt mailer has nothing to offer corporate America looking for calandering/scheduling. There is no "best" anything, there is "more" and "less" suitable for the task at hand. Linux is really only a free version of Unix, it doesn't scale on up as Unix will, isn't as stable, fault tolerant (yet or maybe ever) as most Unixes. All it is, is cheaper, and it will run on commodity hardware. Step away from the alter of Linux long enough to realize this. WTF is it about *nix that creates zealots. I have never met anyone in the Microsoft camp that is a zealot about Microsoft to the extent that some members of the *nix camp are zealots about *nix. > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher A.
