[OLUG] Exchange on linux?

[Kevin Flanagan]

MS has renamed the Internet Mail Connector to "Internet Mail Service" ;')
It went from IMC to IMS.

You most likely won't want to disable LDAP, if it's a company, that gives
you a great address book without any real work.

The SMTP connection is one way, the best way to take advantage of the fact
that someone else is maintaining the Exchange server is to use LDAP for the
directory, and IMAP for the messages.  Netscape and a few others work just
fine against the exchange server. Using those means that someone else is
backing up your email ;')
