Gday Pete,
At the Linux Conference there was a dude from LinuxCare talking about
using Linux to replace Exchan$e. He made a really valid point that
exchan$e wants to be everything to everyone.
His suggesstion was this (if i remember correctly)
- an MTA (sendmail,qmail)
- IMAP (if you can get PHP and IMP (www.horde.org/imp) up and running it
gives a great web interface)
- ICAL (which is supported via PHP too)
I dont know if this solution solves all your issues but it does actaully
do everything you want.
Cheerio,
Matta
