RE: AS400 EMAIL ...

Given the incredible importance of email today and the complexity of
implementing it on the iSeries (only guessing on that point), I would
definitely spend the couple grand to bring in an expert to have everything
go smoothly.  Unless of course if you are able to incrementally switch over,
that is a different story.  BTW, I am not one of those experts when it comes
to email servers so don't contact me :-)

Someday I would love to see a webpage/article/blogentry/etc that gives
general, business central, functionality the iSeries can offer.  I for one
didn't know that Lotus Notes was anything more than an email
client/development environment.  Can a company run Lotus Notes on the
iSeries as the main SMTP server and still use Microsoft Outlook as the
client?  Does it run under native i5OS or is it a Java deal?

I was talking to a moonlighter the other night and told him of things I DO
know the iSeries can facilitate (i.e. multiple partitions with Linux, i5OS,
Windows, serve webpages, web services, etc) - he was very surprised.

Subject: AS400 EMAIL ...

Is anyone using their AS400 for e-mail?

Our e-mail is currently with another company but their servers have been
going down more frequently which is making me think it would be best if we
hosted our own e-mail.

I'm wondering how good the AS400 is with e-mail and if it's easy to maintain
with several hundred e-mail accounts.

Any ideas, suggestions, or pitfalls to watch out for would be extremely
helpful.
