Agreed. "Email service" is being conflated with "groupware" a lot lately, thanks to MS Exchange. Unfortunately, there is no strong, clear leader in that space in the open source world at this point time, mostly because of the lack of standardization. I do not think the exam should be Zimbra-specific, or OBM-specific, or Kollab-specific. And at the same time, we cannot cover them all. What to do then? I think we should focus the scope on email specifically, which is a mature and widely-deployed set of protocols and open source implementations, and leave groupware out of this exam. For now.
