I don't know if Edge is easier than Sendmail because it depends on how one 
measures. I'll give you my score card:


Runs on Unix: Sendmail
Precesses mail: Sendmail, Edge
Greatest number of configuration options: Sendmail
Greatest flexibility: Sendmail
Integrates with AD: Sendmail, Edge.. sort of.
Integrates with AD Natively: Edge... sort of.
Meets the perimeter needs of your organization: Not a clue
Made by Microsoft: Edge

It's really hard to say what the right solution is for your organization. There 
are versions of Sendmail that run on Windows if the barrier is *nix. Can 
Sendmail be a PITA? Absofarkinglutely. But Exchange can make you cry in ways 
Sendmail can only dream of. So, I'd say sure... take a look at it. But if you 
need something it can't do you can either wait for "Edge II: Now It's personal" 
or decide if Sendmail is still the better choice... or if another choice 
entirely might make more sense.

But don't fool yourself, Edge is not Exchange. That's just marketing.

I guess I'm not clear on exactly functionality that the Edge Server
provides vs. Sendmail.
We're primarily a Windows shop and have 1 guy with Sendmail knowledge.
Sendmail is a black box to the rest of us and I was hoping for an
easier solution and was hoping the Edge Server was a step of two in
that direction

Thx in advance
