Posting that a person marginally likes Windows better in a Windows forum is
about as far from trolling as you can get. Anything more than that verges on
fanboi'ism. If the OP's intent was to bait and bring out the trolls, then,
"Mission Accomplished".

While your position has some technical merit, from the OP's purported
functional position it is appropriate to combine the platform and the apps.
Support, training, compatibility, policies, and standards are part of the big
picture to get the job done.

I still support the OP in not devulging his requirements. I've seen too many
responses along the lines of, "Well duh, just go get the source here and
compile it for your needs." and then Mr. Businessman is wasting his time
building and tweaking tools to get his work done when those tools already
exist.

Might want to search the web. There are small SMTP/POP3 servers available as
shareware/freeware. Have been for a while actually.
