Yes, Exchange is highly utilized in VA. There is no question about that. But, how many things does Exchange do that VistA Mail can't do, especially when enhanced with GUI Mail or other GUI clients?
This is even taking into consideration that VistA mail has been in "deep maintenance mode" for a long time now. The other thing is how many viruses, etc, were spread via Exchange? How many by VistA Mail ? If I were going to setup VistA somewhere, one of the biggest reason's I'd do it is to get the free e-mail system, and get Microsoft's (or whoever else's e-mail system I was running) license fees off my back. Big, big, savings to be had there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Schrom Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 3:11 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] What will receive the incoming mails?
