Re: Internal email for small 400 customer

OK- if we are searching for THE cheapest solution for a real small customer
WITHOUT the virus problematic of all the outlook-variants, then I would
go for netscape messenger as Pat Barber mentioned before.
It is easy to define a public adressbook in a shared folder somewhere on the
LAN, the clients can easily add, edit and delete entries through their normal
interface. This "trick" is well known, all you have to do is a little hacking in
prefs.js file, which you then use as a template to install the clients in your 
net.
If anybody is interested, I can supply an example.
I tried LDAP support on AS/400 in combination with netscape messenger,
but I found it way to difficult to maintain, especially in a small shop.

HTH, Philipp
