Hi Curt,

Yes i see this quite oftern if an older version of Windows Version is not longer supportet.
The Wine folks also testing right know Wine on Windows (for the same reason)  ;D Its not stable right now but would be a great help if Windows doenst want you to run older apps anymore. You can install
Wine and you are back in business again..Wine is also avaiable in Macports and Mac-Homebrew so you can run Windows programs on Mac .The most amazing feature in wine for me is, you can just zip your wine file, the virtual registry files, install a new Linux with Wine, unzip you backup file and the new system is running in no time without reinstalling your windows apps in it.

If everything fails, you can of cause use an virtualization software like Virtualbox from Oracle (its free) It works great for me and i allways have some Virtualboxes prepared for testing. If i need Ubuntu 15 for example or Mac OS X for some tests or even NT4 or Win95 ect i just fireup Virtualbox and start the version i need  (with its own IP-Address, DNS-Settings ect). Thats espacially a good thing if you want to test something you dont want to test on you production system 

I was just beginning to like Pegasus and Mercury but I've had FAR too many Windows and Microsoft headaches over the last year so I finally switched EVERYTHING,.... PC's AND SERVERS to ubuntu Linux and can clearly see I am finally free of Microsoft for good....(great feeling of relief).

 Since I couldn't find any Linux downloads I gather Pegasus and Mercury won't work on Linux...what a shame :-(

Any future plans for this...and if not...anyone know of something similar that will work on a Linux platform?

Cheers!

You can actually use Mercury with Linux if you want to:

I realize this is an old thread but Mercury is still alive and doing better than ever with v4.8 on Linux Mint 13 with MATE desktop and WINE. The new SSL package seems to work fine and I am finding no personal need for stunnel anymore. Clamwall plays well with the native linux port of clamav with clamd running as a service. For spam filtering I use the linux capable cross-platform port of Popfile 1.1.3 and PopfileD v1.22.4. I had to make a quick change in PopfileD's MERC.pm module so Popfile could navigate to the Mercury queue correctly. Overall, things run smoothly. I am not in a situation where I have a heavy workload so I have no idea what would transpire there. The downside is that complete setup takes a while unless you are well versed in linux. Expect some trial, error and research, otherwise.
