<OT> alternatives to groupwise?

[Matthew Carpenter]

If you look at the Volution Messaging Server, they basically are
providing a specialized version of a Standard Linux system.  Read
about what they include.  Basically, they're providing POP3/IMAP/SMTP
(which is standard for all Linux servers), LDAP for addressbook, FTP
for central schedule location.  If you read it in-depth, you could
probably build your server for the cost of a good system and a LInux
Server install (I'd be sure to use on with Webmin for
Web-administration, like COLS).  This is not a difficult thing to set
up.  SCO just decided to create a package which bundles it all together
and fills in a little around the edges (mainly in installation and
packaging).  You'll notice that they chose Postfix for the MTA, although
a good Email admin won't fear Sendmail :)
