[clue-tech] BlackBerry on Linux

[Mike Staver]

I have a dilemma right now since I love my BlackBerry that I've had at 
work for the last 2 years, and I'm moving it to my own personal email 
account.  The problem is that my personal server is a linux box of 
course, and I have no intention of ever running an exchange system 
instead.  This has intrigued me though:

I can get a free version of the BES with a single free license.  I'm 
thinking I could run the BES in a VMWare environment on my linux server. 
  My only question becomes, how would I go about installing exchange so 
that it pulls from the linux server, or gets duplicate messages sent to 
it in a way that the mail going through Sendmail/IMAP under linux 
remains there, but I'd like the ability to have it securely managed via 
the BES as well.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how this might be possible?
