Down with MS SMALL BIZ

[meuchel]

So I buy a M$ small business server essential package to replace an existing 2003 small business server. The rep and info stated it had exchange built in, but no, exchange is an add on for almost $1000. I almost flipped. I immediately started looking for an exchange replacement and came across Zimbra.
I had to install it 3 times before I got it right but it was due to running it on an existing bind/apache server.
Once up and running I simply LOVE it.
And using the open source version the price is unbeatable.
THANK YOU DEVELOPERS!

Wow.. welcome to the brotherhood

Thanks..I think my biggest obstacle was split horizon dns.
I couldn't add another prog like the wiki suggested i had to figure out how to do it in BIND9 as this is also a dedicated dns sever for the domain.
I just set up bind9 with views and shazam the darn thing worked like a charm.

Well yeah the split DNS can be an issue for most... but after doing like 6 installs over the last 3 years.. i think its alot easier now for me.

Even had it working on a dynamic dns setup at no-ip.org..
