<div dir="ltr">Hi Garry,<br> Migration requires do you have in house admin? Is admin qualified to do the work? Most of<br> the time, his inability comes back as limitations. <br> You are talking two things.<br> a) Samba migration<br>
b) Exchange to Postfix<br> Samba is a very stable software and much easier to migrate. I remember me doing it around<br> 8 years back from Novell file server. If your admin can spend a week or two he can migrate<br>
easily. <br> Postfix is secure product, but I like idea of using MailScanner. There are problems using Mailscanner<br> with Postfix.<br> Why MailScanner? I prefer virus scanning with ClamAV (Free) or other commercial Uanti Virus<br>
solutions for Linux. (If you go and ask vendor for anti virus for mail server, they quote based on users. With<br> MailScanner you can get any anti virus solution which runs on Linux and no need to fork money based<br>
on users). You can integrate Spamassassin along with MailScanner.<br><br>Sam<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 2:36 PM, Garry Heaton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:garry@heaton6.freeserve.co.uk">garry@heaton6.freeserve.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

slow/failing Windows/SBS/Exchange servers to Linux SAMBA/Postfix<br>
equivalents? Anyone had much success in generating this kind of business?<br>
I'm referring just to the servers, ie. running Windows XP with Linux/SAMBA<br>
either within a workgroup or a domain.<br>
