The product is available though not for free. HP Open Mail will run on
either NT, Linux and a couple other Unix varients. It is a nearly
identical equivelant of Exchange. You can obtain a lisense for home use,
or charitable organizations for $0.00. The limitation is that it will only
handle up to 50 people on that lisense. Further lisense additions run $50
per user in 50 user blocks. That is what our organization is paying for
Exchange lisenses and we are a large organization. Uopshot is though not
free, I think it would be cheaper the Exchange.
