I dunno. I'm an MCSE and I've been trying to find the time and resources to fool around with Linux. (Most specifically to set myself up a firewall) Of course, right now my current project is finding my !#@##@@ Windows 2000 CD so I can do a clean install my system, to undo the damage from my wife getting a hold of it when her system went down. ~sigh~ Wayland MCSE, A+, and Linux supporter. (Just call me a polytheist) "demon du midi" <jl@xxxxxxxx>@freelists.org on 11/15/2002 01:30:45 PM Please respond to windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: [windows2000] Re: Mail server software That all depends on what you call is cost effective. I would rather pay M$ - hp price for a web server array ( 4 machines ), than what IBM is asking at 15 times the price ( Web Sphere on Linux ). Anyways, the whole MS versus Linux thing seems to be a matter of religion than anything else. jerome -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Greg Reese Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 11:57 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Mail server software if you are committed to only using M$ products, you need to be prepared = to spend the money for them. They make no cost-effective solutions.

I will first look into the built-in capabilities of W2K, but I've always been under the impressing the W2K and IIS5 is only capable of sending mail via SMTP. I will verify that though, because using built-in-ness would be ideal. I will then look at Small Business Server. Okay, no I won't. It costs more than Exchange. ;] I won't install Linux on anything, because I'm too close minded. Heh. And chances are I'll wind up running a third party product. (DAMN IT!)
