On this topic, does anybody know of any project that aims to be a drop-in replacement for exchange? I run an all Linux IT shop EXCEXT for Exchange because our sales people are literally attached to the hip with Blackberries. If there is a project out there that looks to do exchange to the letter (ldap, mapi, pop, imap, yada yada . .) That will get people's attention. Especially mine.
