OK...now what if I have NO knowledge at all of Linux or any of his relatives ??? Is there a "shrink wrap" email server that can be bought and installed with very little pain and suffering that is Linux based ???
All the major linux vendors sell just such a product. When you buy from them it includes paid support. Or you can just download their product for free (but that doesn't include paid support obviously).
If I were you, I would get some small PC that you have laying around doing nothing and put linux on it and get familiar with it. It isn't hard to install or admin, much easier than most systems imo.
The major hurdle on this deal, is that I will NOT be on site for any problems. The customer is in NYC and I need this to be "bullet proof" or "idiot proof" depending on your perspective.
This is one reason why a linux solution is so nice. You can use ssh from anywhere in the world to securely log in and do whatever work you may need (not that you will need to). Remote administration is one of linux's strongest points.
You can also use the linux101 list to ask questions about linux. Or jump on the midrangedotcom AIM chat room and ask questions there. There are usually at least two of us midrangers on there.
