I would, but I don't use exchange server. :)
The one exchange server I used in the past didn't accept SMTP
mail.
errr, I used to admin Exchange, if it does accept SMTP then
how could it function as a live mail server?

I believe it was the latter. I'm pretty sure there was only
one server. When I first started at that company it did accept
SMTP connections on it's internal network interface.

And BOFH was horrified by non-MS software, so he shut off IMAP
support and SMTP support on the internal network as a way to
force everybody to switch to Outlook.

BOFH? <br>

lol<br>

If he were a better op then perhaps he would be using unix based system
himself and wouldn't be so discriminating... but then you can't hope
for the world with windows only "techies"... although in fairness,
Exchange and Outlook is a great combination...<br>

you could always try ximian's exchange connector for evolution, I
managed to get some emails with that...<br>
