++ Not to be biased considering this is a linux mailing list,  BUT if you
dealing with "outlook" users on your network the best solution "Without" a
doubt is exchange,  you can hack the linux mail servers as much as you
wish, but a combination of Exchange server and Microsoft Small business
server is the winner.   You can look at all the other alternatives zimbra
inclusive but your turn around time can not beat a person who will setup
exchange/SBS with groupware which is now the main thing in mail setups.

oh and i stand to be corrected on this :).
