I am in the market to replace my simple POP/SMTP Qpopper/Sendmail Linux
mail server. My end users currently use Outlook. We are a growing company
of about 50 people.

Many of my users have been clamoring for Exchange-like features, such as
out-of-office messages, public mail folders, etc. I really dont want to go
with Exchange, however lack of a small-to-mid market collaboration sever
has somewhat forced my hand.

I now see Sun is bundling their collaboration components with the SunFire
V240. My questions are:

1. Is this platform sutible for a small company to manage? Typically Sun
has not positioned this product for mid-range business.

2. What is the general opinion of this Sun One Messaging product?

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
