exchange4linux is a collaborative software solution that provides email- and webmail server, common adressbook, calendar, notes and tasks. It is designed to integrate with Microsoft Office Outlook and third-party tools like PDA-sync or Duplicates Remover for Outlook. It is meant as an alternative to Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Small Business Server.
The community-supported open source project exchange4linux is developed by Neuberger & Hughes GmbH, located in Plochingen, Germany.
exchange4linux server suite 3.x, the commercially supported version of exchange4linux, contains all features in the open source version, a web-based administration frontend, support and software maintenance, optionally with Kaspersky Viruswall and Easy PDF Service.
[edit] Technology
exchange4linux provides its groupware functionality by connecting the Linux-based server with Outlook clients. The communication between server and client is based upon free SWAP technology. Simple Workgroup Access Protocol provides handling and availability of groupware information. It can be used to transfer Workgroupdata, design own Webfrontends or connectors for other Workgroup Clients.
Outlook clients can connect securely to the exchange4linux server via VPN or HTTPS.
exchange4linux is available as an ISO image and as source code.
