Well internet mail has NOTHING to do with MS Post Office. MS's Post Office system was designed for internal company mail back before they believed in the internet (or intranets). Back to the original question, What are you trying to do exactly? The MS-Outlook clients can manage the Post Office directory without any dedicated server software (like MS-Exchange). MS Exchange enhances the PostOffice stuff somehow but for just mailing stuff internally and seeing everybody's address it's not needed. Do you want some sort of system that will allow all your internet-email users to share an address book? That's an entirely different problem. I think Pegasus had a solution to that but I don't know whether they have a unix version.
