Within these pages I attempt to document what I am doing to setup an Linux email server that gets user information from a Windows NT server. The main reason for doing this was to get rid of Microsoft Exchange. Not because Exchange wasn't working, though I have encountered problems with it, but because we were not using all of it's features and, being a small company, we really cannot afford it. This does not mean we will not be making the appropriate donations once we settle on the packages we will be using.

If you found this page via a search engine it may not cover what you need or you may need to start at the beginning to understand everything I have done.

I have decided not to use UW, but will leave this for others.
