Ximian, ahem, Novell, ahem, Evolution Connector

🕖︎ - 2004-06-17

Fortunately I am not forced to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server, but some are - and it seems that they finally can do so using Free Software:

"Effective immediately, Evolution Connector for Microsoft Exchange Server 2000/2003 (formerly Ximian Connector) is available under a free, open source license. Users no longer need a license file to run the software, and source code has been made public at http://ftp.ximian.com under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)."

It takes a little browsing of the ximian ftp-server to locate the source.

How to comment, in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.

  • Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
