PostPath: Enterprise-strength open source alternative for Exchange
,----[ Quote ]
| I installed PostPath under CentOS 4.5 to test it as both a standalone
| messaging platform and along with a single Exchange 2003 server. After
| downloading the installer ./postpath-installer.bin, I installed the PostPath
| Server Daemon (the PostPath engine), PostPath Recipient Update Service (for
| use when there is no existing Exchange server), PostPath Administration, and
| PostPath Webmail.

| reps, offering the opportunity to report an announcement of interest to the
| Linux and Open Source community. Being the curious sort, I couldn't pass up
| such an opportunity.
