MS Exchange is a 800 lb. gorilla that does more than just email. If you are just looking for a SMTP/POP3 server then a comparison with MS Exchange is unfair. You also do not mention how many users you want to support on this server. On Linux, postfix/exim/qmail/sendmail will give you SMTP; dovecot will give you pop3 (dovecot supports mailbox names like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Postfix is fairly easy to setup, same is true for dovecot. For virus scanning you will have to configure ClamAV. All of the above come packaged in the Linux distros with no per user or domain lic. cost. You will need to install them and configure them. This is FYI: on Win32 platform, I have had good experience with MDaemon (sp?). It does SMTP/POP3 with integrated virus scanner and sig. updates from the ISV. Setup is fairly easy, the wizard asks a few questions about domain, users etc. and you are done. It is *not* free. > I need advantages of Linux ;) Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder :) HTH -- Arun Khan -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
