We have currently been testing 3 email solutions to replace our MS Exchange 5.5 solution. No new requirements have been added over what MS Exchange 5.5. We have setup each solution. Let me rephrase that we got Novell Groupwise 6.5 and Scalix 9.0 setup completely. MS Exchange is really kicking our butts. We have three 2003 servers installed. A PDC, main Exchange Server and an Outlook Web Access Server. After following the instructions to a "T" Outlook Web Access doesn't work. I have started search this issue but it seems no one else has had this issue. When we attempt to contact our MS reps they spend their time bashing the other solutions and trying to sell us Portal Server.
Scalix has shown to be awesome. It took less that 4 hours to install and configure it. It doesn't require anything really special for Antivirus and Backup software.
Groupwise is really good too. It wasn't as easy to install as Scalix but it has a lot of functionality that would be cool. It has messanging and document management. But these features aren't required for our solution.

Scalix is running
I got Scalix running on a test system for our email evaluation. It looks pretty cool. I had one issue with Tomcat 5 and Xerces that was fixed by running Tomcat 4.

Looking at new email solutions.
I am currently working on a project to evaluate replacing our old email solution. We are currently looking at 4 products. MS Exchange 2003, Novell GroupWise 6.5, Novell SuSE Linux OpenExchange 4.1, and Scalix OpenMail. Right now I am really liking Groupwise but from what I have seen with Scalix this might be the solution to get.
Ryan Newman pulls out a 13th finish
After having a really bad day Ryan worked his way back from 2 laps down to post a 13th place finish. With this he was able to move into 8th place in the overall standings which keeps him away from being replaced by someone from 11-15 in points.
