Hi Mark You have a point about restoring an Exchange server - this is not a job left for amateurs. Your option could be exactly SmarterMail which in its enterprise version is free for 10 users and provides most of the features of Exchange including a nifty web interface, mail archiving, and decent functionality with Outlook as the desktop client: http://www.smartertools.com/SmarterMail We currently consider to replace our aged GroupWise 6.5 server with a dual setup of SmarterMail. /gustav >>> marklbreen at gmail.com 06-02-2010 12:28 >>> Hello Guys, Thank you all for your input, this was useful. I looked up the domain name and yes, it is on one of the blacklists. IIUC, It is actually the smtp server that is on the blacklist, and not the domain or the IP address my customer is assigned. In that case, I have options of a) switch smtp servers b) switch to google apps for the email serving. I favor Google apps because I can then cease to use Exchange (they have only 5 employees) and I do not have to worry about restoring Exchange in the event of a disaster. I may have mentioned here that I recently installed two USB disks for alternating offs-site backups. I also mentioned that I installed TrueCrypt on the two disks. All that works well, but I have to use Veritas BackupExec to backup the Exchange folders and I fear having to do a restore of that stuff. Is this the golden opportunity to move the email off exchange and onto Google Apps? If so, they may opt to continue to use Outlook as the mail client, which is fine. However, what about calendars. Has anyone here used Outlook as a email client and attempted to interface the calender of outlook to the Google App Calendar? TIA for input and comments. Mark
