It's surprising how life sucks sometimes. Some company can just create something that will make your day miserable, makes you cry, feel awful and creates the urge to hit back. Thanks Dennis for the input on this ;-). Today I was trying to send e-mail via my local SMTP server (XP Professional SP2) using...

Ask a UNIX professional which is best to pickup files on a UNIX machine by a windows file adapter, for instance BizTalk, and the answer will most probably be: "You can easily use Samba".

As project-managers try to be smart (and cheap) when it comes to buying software used in fixed price projects, I feel the need post the following: BizTalk Server is sold in 4 different editions as you can read on microsoft.com/biztalk.
