Exchange to qmail Conversion

Why convert?
Converting to an open source software solution is not only a way to save money, but also supports the global development of free and open source software solutions. After all, software is a tool — not a commodity.

Aside from the moral reasons for converting, the practical reasons for choosing open source software include:

• open source software is free
• you can customize the system to fit your needs
• technical help is easily accessible and often free or cheap
• additional features are easy to implement

How does it work?
Inter7 can help you convert to qmail, and the process starts by contacting us. We will then analyze your particular situation, recommend software and system adjustments, and coordinate the conversion to be as seamless as possible.

Should I worry about data loss?
Absolutely not. The system conversion takes the existing Exchange mailboxes and transfers all of the email — unread and saved — into new qmail mailboxes.

Do I need different hardware?
Typically, your new qmail system can be hosted on a smaller machine than your current Exchange server. Because open source software by nature requires less overhead than the Microsoft colossus, you may be able to use a smaller machine and reallocate the giant Exchange machine.

What about the money?
Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition: $699.00
Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition: $3,999.00

qmail: $0.00

Open source software is free. Inter7 charges only for the time our technical staff needs to accomplish the conversion.
