“Believe it or not, IT departments shudder at the words ‘Let’s
deploy Exchange.’ Although Microsoft’s email server is virtually
ubiquitous, that doesn’t mean it’s popular with those that have to
manage it. So before your boss writes a hefty check for Exchange
and sentences you to countless hours of hard labor, speak up and
suggest one of the many open source substitutes that are just as
robust as Exchange–and are free!“The Horde Project is one of those alternatives. It’s constantly
refined, is widely deployed within small organizations and Fortune
500 companies alike, and has an active support network via mailing
lists and support archives.
