Your company still has to pay a cost, if they haven't already and that is for a CAL(Client access license) for the exchange server reguardless of the kind of protocol you use. The only exception to this is Microsofts 80/20 rule; and this only applies to their exchange product. The rule is simple, if you use exchange 80% of the time at work, then it is ok to have another mailbox for a licensed user to use for 20% of the time at home. (Don't ask me how they would monitor this.) I know this is off the topic but: We use exchange here, we are looking for alternatives, the strongest contender is SUSE's email server package. The main reason for this is they have the scripts to importd from exchange. I don't know all the details, but it looks good on the surface. We are already using with postfix receiving all the mail and forwarding it on to the exchange server. Management is anxious for a solution. They are experiancing the TCO that Microsoft likes to talk about. The cost savings are great, and that and customer satisfaction is what management understands.
