Notes:

Exchange for Unix is a project to provide Open Source compatible versions of Exchange 5.5 Server and Outlook.

The requirements and aims are:

• To provide a reasonably portable (autoconf'd) version of the DCE 1.1 Runtime Library and environment, extending it to be MSRPC-compatible and add NTLMSSP authentication and encryption.
• To extend the DCE 1.1 Runtime Library to other transports, such as DCE/RPC over HTTP. To implement an apache DCE/RPC over HTTP proxy module [which will redirect from port 80 to port 689].
• To provide client and server DCE/RPC implementations of the Nspi* API (whatever that is, but it looks X.400-like)
• To provide client and server DCE/RPC implementations of the MAPI proxy-transport.
• To provide client and server MAPI implementations.
• To encourage and contact other developers to provide implementations of the front and back-ends to the MAPI API (e.g Evolution).

Update: freedce achieves a number of these aims.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
