I do know that I will be suggesting Contact or OpenExchange soon though. Two coworkers priced out an in house Exchange setup and it hit the roof. I don't believe the powers that be are going to pay the number. OpenExchange or Contact on a cluster of Linux servers running on the mainframe is going to get some serious play in the chambers of this city hall. PPS. All of the other options mentioned are alternatives but none are drop in replacements, or as nearly so as Contact claims to be. I have read some reviews that are good. And what again was wrong with OpenExchange? I have read some very good reviews of this product. It also seems to be more widely known. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: exchange alternative
Communigate Pro is a Mail server designed to do below. Check it out. It will replace your Exchange server, you will never look back. Also, it is way more powerful and reliable. http://stalker.com Also, a real plus is you can integrate mailscanner and spamassassin into CommunigatePro, so you can provide email virus and SPAM filtering for absolutely free to all your domains. Actually I take that back, you will have to pay for virus subscriptions, but its way cheaper than the Micro$oft way. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nick Kishfy Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 11:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: exchange alternative This is a good setup but unfortunately it will not replace Exchange calendaring. I haven't found a viable open source Exchange replacement yet myself. I could just get rid of Exchange I would have any Windows servers at all but it's proving pretty difficult. Maybe someone else on the list knows of something. -Nick -Original Message- From: Vinny Valdez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 1:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: exchange alternative Doug Finch wrote: List, I am using a MS exchange 5.5 server for internal mail in our office as well as calendaring, contact lists, etc. I would like to find an open source alternative after having some problems with Exchange this past week.
