RE: [ebxml-dev] Q: minimum requirement for ebxml?

[david.lyon@computergrid.net]

I've been doing that. One of the packages that I'm looking at is ebMail from
Hong Kong. It looks very useable and advanced.

Maybe I need a plugin, but it seems to use smtp to transfer data. That would be
fine as far as I can see for most SMEs.

What is your opinion on using this package for ebxml?
