Since MS uses proprietary protocols, you probably won't find an OSS drop-in replacement for Exchange. You probably won't even find a free-as-in-beer replacement. Since iCal support seems to be pretty weak in OSS, you might be stuck using Outlook, even if you do go with an Exchange replacement that runs on Linux. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Temporarily not of Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
