I currently have groupwise 5.5 with the enhancement pack installed and the groupwise client. If I use outlook as the client and keep groupwise as the server, will this open me to any of the viruses targeted at microsoft, address lists in particular?

Yes and no. I ran a pure GW mail system a while back when the loveletter virus hit. Because it was GW, it couldn't read or use the address book. However, it still destroyed files on the server. The Outlook client will use the GW address book, so itwon't be able to read it or send mail to users in the address book, (at this writing). Any damage the virus does, wiping out files, deleting programs, whatever, will still happen. Best bet, scan your incomming email, then it doesn't matter.
Hope that helps.
