I can't fully disagree with the your email Josh - for customers. That said, in a large, and growing office environment, it's hard to match the featureset of exchange if you're willing to pay for it every couple revisions... Then if you dump office365 into the mix for ultra small headcount orgs who don't want/cant justify servers and maintenance, it's pretty slick.

[8] As a small to medium ISP, If cost is the only importance when it comes to mail, use Zimbra, Sendmail, etc. [9] As a small to medium ISP, if you INSIST on offering hosted mail to customers, consider Sendmail. Sendmail has been used by a metric asston of ISPs - potentially serving several billion customers over the years. It is very well tested and supported. [10] As a small to medium ISP, if you INSIST on offering hosted mail to customers and don't like Sendmail, consider Zimbra. Zimbra will offer you support and features very similar to Exchange with a much lower cost. Your end user devices won't know there is a difference. Somebody is going to come up with certain experiences they've had running Exchange, or Qmail, or $whatever. That's fine, you experience and opinions are no less relevant. Now I'm going to bow out, and maybe watch the carnage unfold after I finish making this new ansible/Juniper playbook :) On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 1:13 PM, Dennis Burgess <dmburg...@linktechs.net> wrote: > 1.. exchange is easy. > 2. why works great! > > > > > www.linktechs.net – 314-735-0270 x103 – dmburg...@linktechs.net > > -----Original Message----- > From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Josh Reynolds > Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 12:52 PM > To: af@afmug.com > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Urgently need Exchange DB Guru > > [1] Good luck with getting it fixed > > [2] Get the fuck off exchange > > On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 12:38 PM, Gino Villarini <ginovi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> thanks! >> >> On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 1:35 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm >> <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Keith Willis with Progent >>> >>> On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 12:32 PM, Gino Villarini <ginovi...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>>> >>>> We have a issue with our Exchange server.
