RE: as400 as exchange server

I also have experience with Exchange, and at 5.5 it is a mature and
very-full=featured product. platinum (exchange 2000?) is in rc1 now and I
expect it will be a worthwhile upgrade. Never had a crash or any problem
worth mention in 2 years; only shutdowns were for service packs, either 2 nt
or for exchange.

The point is that Exchange is a lot more than an smtp server, and MS
deserves credit for spearheading an enterprise quality piece of software.
Earlier versions (exchange 4 comes to mind) had a lot of limitations, but
5.5 is ready for primetime.
