Dear friends, 1) My company recently took a domain as eselinc.com 2) web space has been provided by one of the US based company to upload my web home page and the facility of creating a mailboxes, max of 50. Queries: 1) My director has asked me to create centralized mailing system for us. Here answer is Exchange server is a answer. But how do i take full conrol of my exchange server. The main mail server is is maintained by Us based company who is just a web space provider NOT a branch office or related to our office. 2) what is the basic things for the organisations to have before and after installing and to have exchange server. 3) what kind of exchange server i need to have and on what platfor and version does it suit for us as ours is a streangth of a max of 25-30 employees. 4) Is there any way to check my entire organisations mails through exchange server? and i do want to keep a copy of the mails in my local exchange server not on remote mail server, which is provided by the US based compnay. Here it means, our employees check their respective mails, they should get a mails from my exchange server. 5) How do i synchronize the entire organisations mails from remote mail server? 6) is there any way to receive all the emails to my exchagne server instead of from 3rd party remote mail server? Brief answers would give me addup advantages. I have refered many books, but above queries were still unsolved and still many more queries making me confuse. Kindly i request everyone, to solve my problems with their precious guidelines. Warm Regards, Ravi ____________________________________________________________ RAVISHANKAR.
