"The whole Exchange thing has been holding people hostage", said Caldera
software architect Louis Imershein. The problem wasn't stability or
price, but the need for an expensive Microsoft Exchange-certified
consultant to deploy even a small or mid-sized mail server. The solution
is Caldera's Volution Messaging Server, which combines SMTP, IMAP, POP
and web mail in a single, web-administered package licensed for $28 per
seat. "Users don't know it's not Microsoft Exchange", Imershein said.
And from the administrator's point of view, the skills to be mastered
are simpler than those in the thick MS Exchange manuals.

They also mention Steltor's server based groupware product that allows
Outlook connectivity in another full Exchange replacement option.

Last week Bill Reeder from IBM talked about the Bynari server product
that runs on IBM servers, another low cost and easy to maintain
replacement for Microsoft Exchange.
