Drop-In Replacement For Exchange Now Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the another-one-bites-the-dust dept.

Fjan11 writes "Over 150 man-years of work were added to the Open Source community today when Zarafa decided to put their successful Exchange server replacement under GPLv3. This is not just the typical mail-server-that-works-with-Outlook, it is the whole package — including 100% MAPI, web access, tasks, iCal and Activesync. (The native syncing works great with my iPhone!) Binaries and source are available for all major Linux distros."

    >[A]n open source alternative to Exchange would not have Exchange's arbitrary limitations

    Oops... if it's not bug-for-bug compatible, it's going to be a problem with some PHB.
