Nope, and its lets say roughly, 20 email addresses per retail location, so currently times something like 36? and growing every year.
Where do they go?
-
@Sparkum said:
They go to positions.
So if that person gets fired/quits there's no change on our end.
Just retail so turn over is high.But, the positions don't have email addresses themselves?
-
@wrx7m said:
You don't get charged per email address, you get charged per mailbox.user, right?
Correct.

They go to kiosk01, cashier01, car01, installer01, etc
-
So for example.... scott@ scottalanmiller@ samiller@ all come to me. One mailbox. Aliases are free.

Ah, so those "people" never get an email address of their own at all? Cashier01 is always nothing but cashier01? He will change his email address when he gets a promotion?
-
-
so you are using [email protected] that goes to its own Exchange mailbox and [email protected] that goes to its own, right?
-
If the cashier changed from cashier to kiosk for example they would abandon cashier01, someone else would take it, and they would start using kiosk01

Gotcha. So those people are all using super cheap accounts that aren't on Exchange then since it's non-critical email?
-
Correct, they are on a program called Smarter mail, and they use Kingsoft as an office alternative,
I think its a couple hundred bucks a year for 1000 users

Gotcha. At that price, why not use Zimbra for free?

It's pretty nice. We ran it for years. No Windows licensing either. So the cost is REALLY low.
-
@Sparkum OHHHH... That is the lead right there. I thought you were using Exchange for all those accounts and couldn't figure out how it would be so cheap if you were using proper licensing.
-
Do those users have a separate domain from your corporate accounts?
Do they really need email? or would another messaging platform be better?
-
@Dashrender
Same domain,And ya its both external and internal communication
-
@Sparkum Interesting, what are you using to split the emails between the two different email servers?

I would guess the 'cuda.

If you're just messing around in a lab, why not download 2016 so you can familiarize yourself with the backend?
