Greetings,
We have the following situation:
SITE 1: Active Directory domain (Windows 2003) with MDaemon in POP3-only configuration; ~130 users.
SITE 2: Active Directory domain (Windows 2003 SBS) with the SBS Exchange; ~30 users.
SITE 3: Active Directory domain (Windows 2003) with Exchange 5.5; ~150 users.
SITE 1 and SITE 2 are very near (100Mps connected, same LAN)
SITE 3 is distant (VPN connected with SITE 1 and 2).
Also, there is a trust relationship between SITE 1 AD domain and SITE 2 AD domain.
We would like to unify the three messaging solutions.
Is it possible with Scalix?
Would the AD integration and SSO still be possible with 3 domains?
How many servers should we plan?
May you give some piece of advice on the configuration (mailnodes, routes, etc.) ?
Is there a guide on "complex" configurations (including clusters) that we can read or even purchase ?
Thank you in advance for any info.

Hi Davide,
I believe the discussion will probably at some point be very specific to your environment - so you might want to contact me at florian attt scalix dotttt comm and take this offline.
Having said that, all of what you ask here is certainly possible.
* From a number users perspective, we can certainly go with a single Scalix server. The critical question will be the one remote/WAN site - what kind of clients do they want to use there, what is the email volume, do they send large attachments within the group, do they use delegation efficiently. This will determine if the pieces of technology that we put in to make Scalix behave well over slow network links can work effectively.
- Obviously, local and remote clustering (for availability and/or desaster recovery) is supported with Scalix.
- We can do integration with Active Directory for User and Group Management including a MMC plug-in.
- We can do Kerberos-based true SSO with Outlook and IMAP-based clients that support Kerberos and Username/Password authentication against AD for all other clients.
- We have migration tools available for both Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2K3 and IMAP-based systems such as MDAemon.
The details of the configuration (as you say, mailnodes, routing), follow from the architecture.
Looking forward for you ping - where are you located?
Cheers,
Florian.
