Open-Xchange [1] implements most of the features provided by Exchange and it 
stores it's users in LDAP too. The default implementation uses postfix, but 
it shouldn't be a problem to use qmail-ldap as a mail backend instead (just 
needs SMTP, IMAP and an additional object class in LDAP). The server is GPL, 
but the Outlook connector is commercial, around 15$ per seat.

Drawbacks we've experienced so far is, that there is no official Exchange 
migration path which can be really painful and needs some serious hacking to 
get it working the way it should - but besides this it's really useful.
