Awe, c'mon now. Yes, I agree SA is a better solution, but Microsoft didn't get to be a multi-billion-dollar company solely because of its marketing. Certainly a competent admin following some SANS guides can secure an Exchange box to sufficiently avoid it getting hacked, and a properly-installed version of Symantec will keep most spam away. It /is/ possible, I suppose :-) I'd bet that if he kept the FreeBSD box in place and just told his boss he "upgraded" to Exchange, they'd never even know :-) Regards, Alex
