yes, they can, but they don't at the moment. I'm more concerned about a
shared/replicated database. ok...maybe not concerned about how to get it
between servers, but more concerned about unruly users (if you know where i
work, bet you can guess who i mean by that) poisoning the database with false
emails one way or the other and thereby making the database less useful to
the user population as a whole. the last thing i need is for the
president's email to his vp's to end up marked as spam.
i haven't been sold on the idea this is something we want to do, but i'm
trying to explore the technical issues first to make sure there aren't any
major show-stoppers before trying to tackle the logistical and political
issues. sounds like it wouldn't be that hard, technically.

sorry - "multiple platforms" should be "multiple servers".
