About:
Brutus is an Exchange connector and development framework that offers access to all of MAPI and therefore to all versions of Microsoft Exchange from version 5.5 onwards. It is a complete wrapping of all of MAPI into a (large) set of CORBA interfaces. It enables any client application to integrate seamlessly into any organization with existing Exchange deployments on an equal footing with MS Outlook. Being based on CORBA, it is platform independent, and works equally well on Linux, the BSDs, Windows, or wherever there is a CORBA implementation available.

[»] Brutus server on Linux?
by Darren - May 14th 2007 13:50:36

Will there be a precompiled version supplied for Linux, or better yet, instructions for building the server on the Linux platform?
I think this project would generate a great deal more interest if there was a readily available Linux version.

Only if the wire protocol of MAPI becomes publicly documented. This protocol is currently not documented at all and, despite efforts to reverse engineer it, will not be my favorite choice. The reason is that the MAPI interface (the API) is stable while the binary wire protocol can and will change from time to time.

An interesting project. Unfortunately, on my FC4 laptop, the FC4 binaries won't install due to dependcy mismatches. It seems that the application wants a version of evolution newer that that offered by yum. <sigh>. So much for easily being able to test out the app.

Yes, I would suspect that much. I've stopped supporting FC4 binary releases when FC6 got out. It was simply too much work for an old distribution. The good thing is that you should easily be able to build and install e-b from source. Just grap the newest tar-ball from the site and do "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && make install".
