All my corporate environments have incorporated Exchange as well, and in
general, it does work pretty well.  Backup Exec even restored an individual's
mailbox in the middle of the workday beautifully (dumby deleted her entire
Inbox and didn't have saved mail folders).  SuSE is supposed to be a comparable
substitute, but I've never come close to trying to use it.  Ever since I
started hosting at home, I started with sendmail and moved to postfix.  To
relate it to the subject at hand... if you had ADS as your central auth, had
the SFU, had the auth changes on your linux box that hosts postfix, the same
would hold true of squirrelmail logins authenticating to the ADS users correct?
 (just a silly curious question)  It won't help me here in this exchange
environment though.
