Comcast Goes to Zimbra

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the exchange-assassination dept.

tenchiken writes "Zimbra, an Open Source enterprise messaging app, just scored a major win. Comcast will be moving mail services to Zimbra for all of their customers. Zimbra has been picking up steam for a while now, and appears to really be challenging Microsoft in a area that Exchange has been dominated in. Add in support for Samba Domain Controllers and Linux Authentication, Offline Access and Evolution Support and we might finally have our long desired Open Source Exchange killer."

    grammar errors are annoying... a logical error in which the meaning is reversed is beyond annoying, especially in a forum of admins, coders and wannabe coders.

    "...area that Exchange has been dominated in." means Exchange is losing
    "...area that Exchange has dominated in." means Exchange is winning /cue submitter's annoyed "I barely speak english and you people are being unfair" message in 5, 4, 3...
