Yet Another Exchange Killer?

jmertic writes "SuSE Linux now has the latest Exchange killer, but this time for Exchange Server. Openexchange Server is designed to be a drop in replacement for Exchange 5.5 users who don't want to pay the MS tax of going to Exchange 2000. They say it will be available mid November."

But I've got too much money!

I've got to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days so I can inheirit 300 million! I can't give any away to charity, and I can't tell anyone why I'm doing it! (shhh.)

MS Exchange is perfect for my needs! I can pick up a 1000 seat licence and a couple of XP Advanced Servers and blow my wad right there! Plus, I can hire a bunch of IT guys to keep up with bugs and patches - ooooh, don't kill Exchange!

Something I don't get

I don't understand why people are always talking about the latest and greatest exchange killer.

There was already an exchange killer. It was called Nimda.

Exchange SuSE

Timing is everything :-/

Just my luck - I'm in the middle of downloading SuSe from one of the mirrors, and it goes and gets slashdotted. What are the odds?

Re:MAPI support?

[Kunta Kinte]

I looked through the site, and could see no sign of native MAPI support - rather, you have the usual collection of IMAP, POP3, SMTP, etc. protocols.

Yeah, those useless IETF standards!

No Need

[BurritoWarrior]

I already have an Exchange replacement.

Try and keep it hush hush, OK?

It's called Lotus Notes. Shhhhh.

Exchange who?

I've heard about exchange students, but exchange killers!?
