Re: [gentoo-server] Re: Open Source Exchange alternatives

[Matthew Marlowe]

I've used zimbra for a number of clients over a several year period in
the past and it is solid/reliable - however, my experience was with
the commercial package running on RHEL5.    The experience might be
completely different for someone running the open-source feature set
under gentoo.  Also, while zimbra does provide pretty much all the
features that one normally expects of an exchange type server and is
extremely supportive of outlook, it does go its own way.  I'm not sure
that the features are that awesome, but it did somewhat also serve as
a google apps alternative for cross platform users that didn't want to
trust their email to the cloud.
