Running Exchange 5.5 on VMWare on Linux

Now I’ve heard everything: this article describes (with a straight face, I’m sure) how to set up a Linux box running VMware to use Postfix as the SMTP front-end and Exchange 5.5 as the mailbox store. Why you’d want to do this is beyond me. For an encore, I hear the author’s going to write an article on how to run Lotus Notes 4.0 on a PlayStation Portable.

    That’s just messed up! I mean, I can understand wanting to use Postfix as an edge router, but — 5.5??? How does running it in a VM help with the support issues or in any way mitigate the fact that it is EOL’d?
    The article itself is coming up 404. I’m wondering if it got yanked.

    I just reloaded the article, so it apears to be there. (Hey, check it out– the ads on this page are now for “free Lotus Notes software”!)
