Unwanted Mail
I'm disappointed Domino 6.5 doesn't add any additional server-based antispam measures over the previous release. Basic support for adding real-time blacklists and verification of a sender's valid host names and domain aren't enough ammunition in the fight against spam. You'll need to invest in a third-party product that includes message analysis and spam identification to make a serious dent in the amount of unwanted, inbox-cluttering e-mail your users receive. Also, Lotus says it doesn't plan to release a version of Sametime server that will run on Domino 6.5 until first quarter 2004, so to take advantage of all the nifty new IM and presence features, you'll need to maintain a 6.0.x server to run Sametime. Domino 6.5 server runs on a number of host operating systems, including AIX, AS/400, S/390, Linux, Solaris and Windows 2000/2003 Server.
