To go a bit beyond "vanilla", many of them can also be set up
as IMAP servers and have list serv type software as well. All for
free.

If a client just wants a basic POP/SMTP
server, the price for the product
would be almost nothing. Postfix
and Sendmail on some free *nix works just
fine.

I think 1300.00 bucks Canadian last I checked for
E2k?
Expensive?
Considering what you can do w/ it, I think
not!
Geesh! Even I-mail, a plain vanilla (boring) email server isn't
far
behind in price! As far as the sec holes in OL, well I am not
worried,
part of the cost of doing biz I think. The man hours associated
w/
exchange are practically nill! Automated backups, I verify 'em for
fun
once and a while, and maybe if I am bored, Ill pull it offline for
a
defrag. Think I did that 5 times in my life! Maybe while your
investing
in all the man hours keeping your working, I peruse my eyes
through M$'s
site and look for new OL
holes!

I've been on systems with
Exchange, Groupwise and Notes. Currently
working with Notes
R5. I dont really like any of them - they are
all
too
cumbersome. I havent worked with any of the new web
clients yet - one
thing I really dislike is the monster client they all
have. I am happy
that I dont have to try to keep up with all
the Outlook security
problems
though. We have had zero
security problems with Notes R5. I would
rather have a
simple email system such as Novell IMS which requires no
administration if
you are using NDS. Then use a webserver for intranet
and
database front end to take the place of the Notes databases.
We
use
all the features of Notes but it takes a huge amount of
support
manhours.
Last I read, Notes has about 60 million seats and
Exchange has about 35
million. Everyone else is an
also-ran. Whatever features one has
over
the other will
probably be shortlived, as they tend to converge on the
feature set that
the users want. I'm glad I dont have to select
one
over the other right now. They are all bloated, too expensive,
and a
black
hole for support
hours.
