I also like Exchange 2003 very much. When I see the opportunity to sell
it, I always will. Geez, there's no easier implementation on Earth! The
problem comes that when you Want to use Exchange 2003, you fall into a
licensing pit. There goes Windows 2003 licensing, CAL's, Exchange
server, exchange CAL's... (and no maintenance here included! If you
want, pay SA and add 1/3 more to each licensing cost.
I prefer to implement it on networks that are already running Windows
2000 or 2003, or else it's really hard to convince the buyer otherwise.
Novell, for an example, introduced Novell Linux Small Business Server
which comes with SuSE Enterprise Linux 9, eDirectory, GroupWise, Novell
Linux Desktop 9 and much more stuff. The licensing cost with this
solution here in Brazil can be eight times more cheaper than a Microsoft
SBS solution.
Well, in the US it may not be a problem, but when the currency comes to
2,5=1 things get tough on our side ;)
My 2 cents!

Boa Dia,
From your email domain it appears that you are Brazilian ( I am
Portuguese ). I haven't run open Exchange and I am sure that it is a
very good product, I really do not know of any company's in my area
that are running it so I personally can not give you any feedback.
However the Linux users list may be the best place to ask such a
question, try www.svlug.org, they have a pretty active list on such
topics and some very opinionated Linux Gurus that are always eager to
give you there two cents ( Most are good guy's and gals )
What I have run and can give you my opinion is on the email client that
I have had my Linux users use. Ximian connector for Ximain's Evolution
works great to connect to my Exchange 2003 server that I supported at a
previous company with out any issue's.

I have to admit, Microsoft did a really nice job with Exchange 2003.
Is Exchange really that expensive?

Yeah yeah, no one knows Novell for sure ;) Small company...
OpenExchange is a good option, it includes features that would require
you to have Exchange, SharePoint and Project, but they all come bundled
AND run on Linux. It's licensed software (since SuSE at the time
developed it shortly after being acquired by Novell), and it ain't cheap
;)
Check out Novell's site, it inclues pricing charts for the product. At
least you don't have to license the Operating System itself, just pay
SuSE's maintenance if you wish.
Cheers!

Hi all,
Any comments on Open Exchange? Anyone used it?
http://mirror.open-xchange.org
This is an open source (i.e. free) product. I have a customer who
seems
very interested in it so I wanted to talk to him intelligently about
MS
Exchange vs Open-Exchange, technical pros and cons (not just mareting
pros
and cons like "MS is a big company, Open-Exchange is an unknown, no
support etc.").
Best regards
Mike Salim
