<OT> alternatives to groupwise?

[Matthew Carpenter]

I would be torn as to which to offer.  I am a die-hard GroupWise fan. 
It is relatively secure (ok, for a big install, I'd certainly front-end
it with Sendmail, but that's normal), it has a decent client, it's
NDS-based, and it has good scheduling features.  The only thing I have
against it is that it doesn't run on Linux (Client or Server) that I'm
aware of.  The only thing I've ever really had go wrong is when I
scheduled the backups and the indexing at the same time and got a bit of
corruption (oops).

Then again, there ain't nothing like a good Linux box to put your email
in clear-text files, with the abilities of fetch- proc- and formail at
your fingertips.

TIP: if you DO continue running  GroupWise, be sure it's MTA is NOT
directly available to the Internet.  In order to allow the SMTP features
to work properly, GroupWise only allows you to limit Relaying based on
From: address....  This is easily spoofed and can potentially get you
blacklisted quickly.  You probably already knew this but I wanted to
share the experience :)
