Drop-In Replacement For Exchange Now Open Source 434
Fjan11 writes "Over 150 man-years of work were added to the Open Source community today when Zarafa decided to put their successful Exchange server replacement under GPLv3. This is not just the typical mail-server-that-works-with-Outlook, it is the whole package — including 100% MAPI, web access, tasks, iCal and Activesync. (The native syncing works great with my iPhone!) Binaries and source are available for all major Linux distros."

This just in! According to NORAD, the nation's defense system went on alert after controllers detected a large number of unknown flying objects coming from the Pacific Northwest. While the status has not entered DEFCON 1, a spokesman for the Defense Department assured the public that this was a precautionary measure as the objects themselves do not appear to be very large and that they originated from the Northwest rules out an nuclear attack from either China or the former Soviet Union.

Oops... if it's not bug-for-bug compatible, it's going to be a problem with some PHB.

Drop in replacement, you say? Will MOSS or CRM play with it? Will it pick up AD rules and GPOs? What about BCM and Project Server? '
Can you say bloat, bloat, and more bloat?

Indeed! There's been a recent string of incidents reported of rogue, black-hat office admins maliciously filling their bosses' calendars with meetings HE NEVER AUTHORIZED, yet was forced to appear at, even if no one else was there! And some execs were reprimanded - even dismissed - because they couldn't provide sufficient evidence that they were not the person who authorized such meetings. It chills the spine to think of how much executive time is being wasted through an easily patched exploit such as this, and of how many lives are thrown into chaos in the aftermath.
