[Gllug] Thoughts on Scalix

[Morfidus]

I don't think I explained myself incorrectly, I am looking for the
opinion of somebody who was experience with Scalix only.

 Bosses won't let me play with integrating bits and bobs, they want a
"fully integrated package" (their double speak)  and the "ability of
restoring mail in the way Exchange+Outlook does it", which I guess
could be easily done with imap.

 This is a fight between them wanting Exchange "because of whatever
diluded view they have of it" and us "IT admins not wanting to deal
with the negative side consequences of more MS software"
