I personnaly like the combination: Postfix, Mailscanner, Group-Office. Group-office has the functionality i need (email, calendar, calendar sharing, tasks, filemanager, addressbooks, projectmanager etc... Yet is quite simple to setup and use... In the professional version there is also a synchronisation option to sync with outlook... Authentication can be performed on database, email or ldap... eGroupware is another one, similir to group-office but with much more functionality.> ----- Original Message ----- > Subject: [CentOS] MS Exchange Replacement > From: Joseph L.

Easy to setup, easy to administrate. Fully integrates with Outlook and has an AJAX webmail app as an alternative. On the down side it's a bit server heavy (as Java tends to be) and the IMAP server is a bit buggy, but if you use Outlook then you'll avoid that.

It could be a challange to compile OX, then you could use the install CD (iso-image) from NnorTuX http://www.nnortux.no Tronn> _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- "The box said: Requires MS Windows or better, so I installed Linux" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've never used it, but would be interested in anyone that has ... as I'm looking for something that can work with Exchange, but without the '2nd class citizen' approach that Exchange gives non-Windows users.

Looks professional in terms of interface. Good community too. The only problem is that it was bought by Yahoo which is planning to buy by M$, but since OS version was GPL, then I assume that the project will continue even after acquired by M$.
