They use Oracle mail servers for their corporate e-mail. Ironically, the direct descendant of the Sun Internet Mail Service software I wrestled with back in the early 2000s.

Any idea what Oracle’s mail server is called? Is it the thing I linked?

I don’t find it all that surprising:

- Sun/NeXT were doing stuff together before Apple and NeXT merged

- Lots of Java stuff at Apple immediately following the merger including a Cocoa-Java bridge and WebObjects is rewritten in Java

- Oracle/Sun stuff doesn’t need to be run on Windows

- Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison were good friends

Yeah: Oracle Communications Messaging Server (8.1 and above over the past 5 years).
