G'day guys
I've been following SOGo for awhile now, used the ZEG and played
with the tutorial that Oliver has kindly made available.
My question is I have access to a vast amount of small businesses
that I currently support and would love to support in the area of
an Exchange alternative. But my reluctance is that I don't
understand SOGo, OpenChange, Dovecot, Samba4, Sope, etc. I was
wondering if anyone knew or could tell me where I could get
training in this area.
Currently I have a basic understanding of Linux, but I'm looking
for a cutting edge education. The local education places only
support Samba3 which annoys me to no end.
So in a nutshell, if I were to do some courses (online preferably)
what is the recommendation?
Also I just want to say brilliant venture, I love Linux so keep up
the great work.
Hello Steven,
I have been following SOGo for several months now and played with
the ZEG and tried to add SOGo to a Debian server. I think there is a
long way to go with this before I can use it and I don't think it's
a matter of training. I have used ClearOS 5.2 successfully for small
businesses. With it's web interface it's very easy to get it to do
all the things it's capable of such as file sharing, email and
hosting the companies website. (I can't say the same about ClearOS 6)
The 'Internet' defines lots of things for us, like how websites
work, how email works and how DNS works. What it does not define is
how address books work. All I want is a simple centralised database
of email addresses that is shared by all email users in the company.
Back in the 90's there was a fantastic thing called Lotus Notes
which was the ultimate groupware. There are no open standards to let
you create one in Linux. Whare are the IMAP and SMTP protocols for
address books and calendars?
I have no idea why people would create standards such as IMAP yet
not carry on and create standards for address books. Unless it's so
that Microsoft Exchange has no competitor in the Open Source area.
Regards,
Wayland.
(Someone please correct me if I am wrong)

Well currently i use Horde Webmail groupware. It supports CalDav and
CardDav plus active sync capabilities with iOS and Android up to AS 14.1
But SOGo and the native Outlook support is a winner in my books, plus
coupled with Samba 4 and goodbye Microsoft in a couple of years I
would say.
The trick I'm sure is to know how to set it up, but most importantly
how to keep it running.
Anyway I hoping that someone has an answer for my original question.
Regards,
Steven Swarts
