I want to set up an internal (company) email discussion group. (Where someone sends an email asking a question and the email goes to everyone in my company, people reply and the answer goes to everyone etc...) I have a server running Windows 2000 with Exchange 2000. We have 3 different office locations and the server hosts local intranet addresses as well as host our own external @domain.com email accounts. Can I set this up without any other software? I have an idea of what I can do, but it seems too simple to work. Any suggested solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just saw a PHP script for that but it is designed to be run in Macromedia's Dreamweaver software. They have a fantastic library of scripts to accompany the software. THe new Studio MX package is under $1000.00 US I think, so it's not a BIG cash outlay and you get WAY more than you vere pay for.

NOTE: Just buying the software won't help too much, but once you gte over the learning curve, and use the free online scripts they offer, you are set to go.

exactly with what you already have. Use the Public folders from Exchange, and yes .. it's very easy feasible without any other programs. The problem is not how you are going to implement it (there will always be a way to do it, and you already have one), but HOW this "solution" will improve communication within your company. Because I think that in the end, this is all about - COMMUNICATION.
I hope is not going to be just a "soap bubble" in the air, and YOU are the one that should look after so that this will not happen. For the rest, you already have the answer.
Good luck!

Use the most widely used solution for this very thing... a forum. While this solution isn't exactly what you originally invisioned, I believe that the end result will be the same. If you want to force everyone to get responses in their in-box, then just default the board to have everyone subscribed to each discussion. Although I don't recommend that unless people like having cluttered in-boxes.

There are many free or low-cost forum solutions available.
