thanks to everyone who replied to my message for help on the "exchange
server to linux mail problem" !
I havent had time to look at the problem again yet but will soon. Just
thought I'd reply with an answer to those who ask, in essence, "why bother
with Windows" well the problem arose because we were looking  at the
problems of small to medium businesses and how to reduce running costs with
minimum disruption to their existing business  practices. I am aware that
Linux is a great and usefull product in the business arena, but in the real
world many offices are using
Windows servers and their practices reflect that. They pay hundreds (if not
thousands) of pounds a year to Microsoft in license fees and other costs but
we are
trying to find ways of reducing their costs without making overnight radical
changes to the setup. I was just looking into this problem for the first
time and found
there was no info on the web that was as good as the feedback I got here -
so thanks again everyone will be in touch and will definately attend some
meetings.
