Re: [Fwd: Linux in high schools.]

Scott,

There was an article on LinuxToday.com that has since
been removed. It explains at pretty high level what
products you need to put together to get a linux
server to support mail like an exchange server. 

The article was great and the solutions all worked
well. I have the article archived so if anyone is
interested please reply to chance_ellis@yahoo.com

There are quite a few steps in the setup but they are
all fairly easy to accomplish. There are about 9
products that need to be installed so it can be a bit
overwhelming.

Again, anyone interested, let me know and I will send
the archived document.
