Title: SME Server V5
Post by: steve on September 20, 2001, 03:55:16 AM

I see that the new mitel iso has been released.  Is this just e-smith 4.12 with servicelink?  If I plan on not using servicelink, should I stick with 4.12?

No. It is a substantial update with new features and some
bug fixes.

There are two SME Server V5 releases - one with ServiceLink
and one without. In all other respects the releases are
identical.

> If I plan on not using servicelink, should I stick with 4.12?

No. All new development will be on the SME Server V5 base.

We recommend all users of 4.1.2 upgrade to the SME Server V5.

FYI: ServiceLink virus protection had the new Nimda worm pattern
file out to subscribed servers as soon as it was released by
Trend Micro.

$595 for 90 days or $1885/yr, in combination with IPSEC VPN support, DNS hosting, backup MX, and server monitoring.  If you just want the e-mail protection, $1295/yr.

I agree.  I understand the price is very good for businesses, in comparison to other semi-comparable solutions (M$ Small Business Server plus some sort of virus scanner, plus a support contract, plus...), but it'd be nice to have a home version as well.  Hey, if anybody writes a GPL'd virus scanner, we could do it...

Does " Rav " still work with essg 5.0 ? We use Rav from Darrell and it does a great job.

You need to address Rav support issues to Darrell.

Thanks,

You'll need to address this question to a Rav reseller, such
as Darrell. We haven't done anything to stop Rav working, but
we also have not tested it.

Thanks,

Gordon

http://www.openantivirus.org has alpha code out, and it's in active development.  The thing they need right now is a bigger active community and Virus signatures.
