Oooo... Ansible and Juniper .. nice combo and works very well ;) We run Exchange internally - we're actually 80% Microsoft internally and externally .. it all has a time and a place. Personally, even though I am a Mac user for day to day, I very much prefer Exchange for the corporate mail side of things. For customer facing mail, preference is to do it in-house for several business reasons (mainly that we have the expertise and due to the volume of mailboxes involved).

[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.
