On Wed, 17 Jul 2002, pheonix1t just had to get this off his chest:
hello people, What opinions do you have on the Suse Email server? I just picked up a customer (doctor's office....actually a whole building...3 floors). They are interested in getting their email service in-house. They were wondering about what email server would better suit them. I made them aware of Exchange (one of the doctor's sons told them about this.....) I told them about the high maintenance cost of it and that it's not good with security...too much baby-sitting required to keep it working good. I also made them aware of Lotus Notes...which is VERY nice, but costs more. Then I suggested a linux email server and he was curious. I told him I'd get back to him with recommendations and a list of features. They are interested in group collaboration and remote access (webmail). The features I've seen on the Suse email server website seem just right for them.....are there any other email servers I should consider?
Samsung Contact (used to be HP OpenMail) is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Exchange, but running on a secure and much more flexible & stable Linux/*nix environment. Both O[E] and native Linux clients (or webmail) can use it with the full set of groupware possibilities (so I'm told) that Exchange offers. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E.
