Well some of us are not quite so stupid as we choose Linux/Sendmail/MimeDefang/SpamAssassin as well as Exchange.
It's a case of horses for courses .. For usability, I have never seen anything that competes with Outlook integrated with Exchange for workgroup collaboration. For relaying email I prefer SM/MD/SA for speed, protection and configurability. But you have to consider that not everyone wants to spend their whole life tweaking various settings in various config files. Most small businesses simply want to use what they can that will allow their users to integrate with their chosen word processor or spreadsheet on their chosen desktop system best. I manage a whole load of mail accounts so I have the time and inclination to tweak but most of my customers don't. We give them Exchange because it integrates with their desktop apps and I relay mail for them because its fast and can be tweaked easily. I can see the benefits of both sides, my question was simply, why is there an assumption that the problem is caused by a badly managed Exchange system? I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest. jON _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
