It was a very interesting job.  They had originally started using large SGI Irix 
based systems (using a different email solution), then did a brief migration to 
linux, then from linux to Solaris.


Although no longer in production by the time I arrived, this was the last point 
in my career that I was able to used Silicon Graphics equipment.

Even Oracle doesn't offer mailserversolutions for Solaris.


Not quite true, the last I checked, Sun Mail Server (nee Netscape mail, then 
Java CommSuite, now OCUCS) lives on and produces new versions.

My old job supported it for a number of ccustomers with my hands, a pretty good 
product. Although in Oracle hands it is now only paid-for, and with a minimal 
purchase baseline so it is aimed at providers or very large organizations. 
Things are negotiatable but it is difficult.

I don't think Jobs particularly wanted to sell servers and high-end Unix
workstations.  He had already tried that with NeXT, and it didn't work out
all that well.  That market can easily turn into a money pit because of
competition from cheap PCs running Linux.  Not that they're the same
product, but explaining to people why they aren't is tricky.
