Greetings,

I have looked through all the posts on this topic and I would like to add my 
two cents (, as we say in the US).  I think many people commenting on this 
thread misunderstand SOGo and ZEG. 

>From the ZEG download page:

"The ZEG (Zero Effort Groupware) edition of SOGo is intended to provide a 
complete out-of-the-box testing environment of SOGo, the Open Source messaging 
and calendaring software."

>From the SOGo home page:

"SOGo is fully supported and trusted groupware server with a focus on 
scalability and open standards. ... SOGo is the missing component of your 
infrastructure; it sits in the middle of your servers to offer your users an 
uniform and complete interface to access their information."

So what does that mean?  It means ZEG is a virtual appliance to help you 
understand how SOGo works so you can setup your own servers.   It means that 
SOGo is not a mail server.  It is not a directory server.  It is not a database 
server.  It means that it has no users to manage.

If you are looking to use a testing environment like ZEG as a production server 
I think you will be disappointed that it lacks the features required for 
production.  If you are looking to build your own production server, then SOGo 
can be a great component along side other components.  The beauty of SOGo is 
that it can be configured to work with many systems.  And because of that there 
is no way that SOGo can manage users from every directory/database/posix/etc. 
server.  It is up to each administrator to setup and manage their mail servers, 
users accounts, databases, etc.. the way they want.  

I hope this helps clarify what ZEG and SOGo are, and what they are not.

Mark

ps: If you are looking for turn-key solutions that includes SOGo, there are 
companies that can help you with that.  If you want to roll your own solution 
and need help Inverse can provide you commercial support.
