Thanks for the pointer. It looks like it will work pretty well for me.
The only thing I can't find is a statement that I can handle some form of a 'Global Contact List' like we're able to do with the Exchange Server. We have a corporate HR person that's responsible for keeping names, email and phone numbers updated online. these are accessible to us users as a Contact List in Outlook. Is there a way to do that in this product? (It doesn't need to be perfect UI or extremely easy, as long as it's do-able!)
Depends: How well does Outlook integrate LDAP servers? Don't know about Outlook, but in Netscape I simply say "New Directory Server", specify the name of the mailserver as directory server and the LDAP root (for me that's "dc=oak,dc=suse,dc=com", see your /etc/ldap.conf in the email-server, you get to choose what's supposed to become your own LDAP base when you install), and I'm ready to go. Before that I went to my personal config. (web) interface on the email server (compared to the mail-reading interface) and entered my phone number, title, and all that other stuff. Now I can search the LDAP addressbook for Netscape and get all those entries. I can get any number of matching entries, and in netscape mail I can do a "Create new list" on the result of such a search. I have to use a trick to get ALL ldap entries: I can't use an empty search, so I search for something that is ALWAYS true, like "name does not match '\'". I only tried this right now to be able to answer your question. About a virus scanner: Go to http://www.amavis.org/ The author actually works for SuSE ;-) This interface will be part of our next EMail Server 3 product. Right now you have the choice between doing it yourself or letting us do it as part of a business support agreement (or to wait a few months for version 3, or to get version 2 now and upgrade later). It simply didn't make it into the version 2 yet because it was a pretty bug jump from version 1 already anyway, so the guys were busy enough with that. Michael
