There are many, many guides available on the Internet to do this sort of thing. ___________________________________________________ If you are a pure Microsoft shop I would consider the costs of moving from a standardized environment for just one product. It is not just an issue of today's installation, of course you will need to learn linux/unix spamassassin and sendmail, which is fun, and then learn how to support it. You should also consider how the company will support non standard NOS in the future i.e. when you leave, especially if spamassasin becomes the gateway, therefore becoming a critical system. I learnt UNIX at UC Berkeley, so don't take me as a Microsoft centric person, but I have seen the implications of this move. Network Environments that are mainly Microsoft standard and start adding a couple of free Linux boxes for a saving of a couple of grand tend to end up spending a lot more in the long run. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
