I am not aware of any security vulnerabilities with Scalix, but it will depend on your corporate policy and audit requirements. I suggest taking the audit requirements, checking them against a clean installed server. If any issues come up, we can address them at that point.

Kind of interesting post - "Can you tell me how to exploit your software?"

:D

The joys of a proper OS.....unlike windows there are very few vulnerabilities, as can be seen by the number of security patches for unix. The only vulnerabilities I have seen have been through accidental or bad admin on the OS side.

This isn't vulnerabilities, though. What you need to do is formulate a corporate IT security policy. Once you have that in place, you will need to check what is already covered and what not. If you have a virus scanning requirement in the policy, you will need to check where to do such scanning. If your policy addresses clear-text passwords, you will have to look at the various protocols in use and see how/if they violate this. Perhaps you need to use a firewall to limit this.

Since you sound new at this, I would suggest you contact a Scalix partner to help you with this, and to show you how the various things fit together.
