Is this just a plugin so that Microsoft LookOut! users can just point their mail program at the samba box for an exchange server? The protocol that exchange uses between it and it's mail clients is a firewall administrators nightmare. It uses like 3 or 4 different ports, both UDP and TCP, and uses RPC (so you have to edit the registry on the exchange server to bind the rpc ports to 2 specific ports). Looks like MS is finally starting to think about the firewall nightmares they create, win2k uses port 445/tcp for drive/folder sharing now. It still opens the old ones, but you don't need them, it's just for backwards compatibility with nt and 9x. I wish they would fix that horrid protocol, then I wish someone would come out with a decent exchange clone for unix, with clustering and all that fun stuff. Set it up once and let it run...
