@Bob-Beatty AFAIK the more the merrier!

@Hubtech Ah, well, in that case, I believe you can use what @scottalanmiller calls the E0 for just those emails or I believe you can just setup aliases/distro lists. If it's not a full blown email and it's just a distro list, that shouldn't be a charge. Just a thought.

@scottalanmiller Not familiar with either of those.

@hubtech Ok. Maybe it's just me but I've never had ANYTHING but problems with Dell. A couple of places I've been/are are Dell shops. @networknerd can keep his Dells!

Not sure why the monitoring emails wouldn't work. That would be a limitation of whatever you're using to monitor, etc. Not the email. Email is email.

@scottalanmiller said:

I would be loathe to deploy on site Exchange today, especially for someone new, though. Why not put him on Office 365?

Agreed.
@hubtech The fact is that Office365 is just going to become pretty much unparalleled in usage compared to on-premise Exchange over the next couple years. Already a TON of places have migrated away or had already gone to Google Apps for cloud functionality. It's a worthy thing to look at.
Also, have you looked at HP?

@Joyfano Same here. LOL

@scottalanmiller Different word, same thing.

@Joyfano I saw there was another used from the Philippines that joined in the past few hours. I'm guessing that was your doing.

@scottalanmiller What show was that? Is that Reading Rainbow?

@scottalanmiller Ya think?! That's not very nice showing the world your daughter playing in the toilet!

@Hubtech What are the functions? I honestly didn't even know you could get specs that low in a server server. That's...wow. IT thief is right. No reason to waste what's there. However, you can't run an efficient network with what you have. Might not be horrible to upgrade those with more RAM or you can turn those into staging/dev stations. Oh, and Dell? smh

@joyfano make sure to get some rest!

@minion-queen That was just a lot of TMI...

Not too much but I don't know. Automated number 2 cleanup...something just not right about that...

Soon? How are you not home YET?!

But then where's the fun?

@Joyfano hey, it's 7AM here. I'm just regaining consciousness....:P

Seriously, the English language makes even some of the most convoluted environments I've walked into look like Monk's house in comparison as far as rationality and organization...LOL

@scottalanmiller I know. I figured but was still curious. I don't ass-u-me.
