I mean 10 minutes after the article was posted we get this 6 paragraph commercial posted by an AC
I'm not sure if you realize that it's not AC that approves the topic/question on/. but the/. team? So, you suggest that guy who asked the question was reloading the main page for XY hours and when he caught his question posted he immediately added this comment?
But it's never "gee, maybe I should read a book and do this shit the right way," it's "damn PHB management forced this M$ stuff down our throat, and it's buggy and doesn't work right. Woe is me, i wish I could be running postfix!"
Actually, it's more like...
damn PHB management forced this M$ stuff down our throat, and want it in production mode tomorrow...
They want you to setup something "asap", you do it (and fuckup, of course), it works, but you never get to reinstall/setup the thing again because nobody can live with few hours downtime - and you of course are not going to come to the office on Sunday morning...
I would absolutely shoot my self in the head if I had to try and come up with a *NIX solution as feature rich, easy to implement and maintain as Exchange.
Run on UNIX (HP-UX, Linux), easier to maintain, doesn't have database f*ckups like Exchange, easier to restore/backup mailboxes, 'simulates' Exchange and works fine with Outlook (calendaring functions as well).

Get real...
Maybe people should send a nasty mail to poor Micron (eg), and say something like:

"I'll never again buy your RAM is you don't kick RAMBUS' ass in the court!"
Might work

HP OpenMail. More details at:

V7 is in beta now (for Linux).
And no, I don't work for HP. I just like this product (extremely scalable - it's unreal how much it can handle).
Doh! OpenMail, not OpenView... I should really get some sleep...
You might want to give a try to HP OpenView.

And yes - it's cheaper as well
