I am so sick of software makers comparing their product to Exchange. These are mostly email only servers. Those who use Exchange for email only have made a great mistake. UNIX and even other NT products are far better suited for this service. But, if you want a collaboration server Exchange or Lotus Notes is the way to go. Why waste resources and capital on software that won't be used? Oracle claims to have a better product for email services. That may be so but Exchange is not a comparable product.

Like exchange uses the Priv for its backend. Email is all it does. And with Exchange that is becoming just one little piece. If all you want is email get a Linux box. That will not cost you 40k per processor just for the database license. Don't bother to learn about it. It will not last long. There prospective market, looks like 10k plus seats.. And there are so many of those you know?? They say it can support 1,000,000 users on a single box.. Out side of the us government [1] who would that appeal to? Maybe Wal-Mart. It is a huge joke... [1] a good deal of which is getting close to nt4 upgrades.

How are you going to cannect 9i as a smtp gateway.
