Help - Looking for Feedback 1

[zoie123]

I am new to this forum and I posted the question below on the Exchange 5.5 forum but did not get any feedback. I was hoping that someone could get back to me if they have any info.

Original Post:
I run a small group of about 150 users and we are currently using Exchange 5.5. I am going to be upgrading soon, looking at 2K3, however I am thinking of trying out some of the alternative solutions. I ran across PostPath on Google and was wondering if anyone has tried it. It sounds interesting. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Haven't tried it, but have heard of this product:

Also see this article about another option:

Thanks for the info. The thing I found really nice about PostPath was that it works natively with Outlook. These others solutions require another connector that I would need to install and manage in order to make Outlook work. I worry about creating a bigger headache for myself. I haven't tried any of these, but PostPath has a free 12 user license so i think I am going to Install it and give it a shot. To me, it sounds like the only alternative email server that offers everything Exchange does.

If anyone else has any feedback or has tested any of these solutions, let me know. I would like to get some more opinions.

Thanks.
