I would like to point out a few things. We are a medium sized company that uses exchange and JBoss. All our really important (business critical) work is done on JBoss, and we're very good at managing these appservers. If someone walked in today with a solution (open source or not) to run our mail servers off of a clone of one of our JBoss appservers, we'd sign up in a heartbeat if it had even a minimum of exchange like support.
We already basically killed off our old issue tracking system with iTracker, because iTracker runs on a standard JBoss appserver using standard EJB. That means we can connect it to our DBs just like we connect all the rest of our appservers and it just works. No problem. For this very same reason, bugzilla won't even get in the door. We don't use MySQL, and we're not about to rollout apache and MySQL on some random box just for issue tracking. Our issues can reside in the DBs where everything else lives, and it can all be backed up and maintained together. This is why James is a non-starter for us. It uses some sort of messed up Turbine based framework that (in my experience) doesn't work at all, and they want to demand MySQL as well, which once again leaves their project dead in the water. Basically, what I'm saying is this. Any project that can use EJBs in JBoss to interact with our databases will almost certainly replace any product that cannot, for us. This goes pretty much across the board. Issue trackers (like iTracker), mail servers, bulletin boards, web-mail, calendaring, scehduling, etc.... I have no idea if we are current customers of JBoss inc., but I bet if someone offered to replace our exchange servers with a JBoss based alternative we'd pay a king's ransom to get some guys in here to perform the migration. That sort of thing should be JBoss's bread and butter.
