You may be surprised at how popular this is becoming. There is a bit of a
move these days to push services, even services we would consider core to
our infrastructure, such as mail and DNS, to an external provider. It makes
sense in a lot of situations.

Now, mixing up email and groupware is new to me. That will be interesting.
I am curious to know how this turns out.

I remember seeing a thread on a SAGE mailing list a while back about some
new Exchange killers (they may have even run on UNIX and/or Linux). Craig,
did you want me to dig this up?

Regards, Dustin
