Our company is currently in the process of leaving MS Exchange 5.5. Of all the systems on our network I have had the most trouble with MS Exchange so I am extreamly happy with leaving it. We are going to Samsung Contact. Although if you buy SC for SuSE they do not offer support for anything exchept RedHat. I did not have much trouble installing it on my SuSE 7.3 pro system though and it is currently on my test network being smacked around by my automated testing system. It offers all the mail and non-mail features of exchange, and they have a pretty nice client that also offers the same functionality. For our initial roll out though we will be using SC on linux with MS Outlook 2000 as the client. I have purchased a few lisenses for the SC client to introduce it to the grass roots people who hate Outlook hoping to get away from that aweful product.

Have a system that we designated our new mail server. Installed S71 Pro and sendmail and got all the rpms up to date. We run a Linux DNS for local and internet resolution and all Linux systems pass mail back and forth without any problems. So...
No help here, but a question.
Have you found something that handles shared calendars as well as MS Exchange? Our IT gang would like to swap out MS Exchange server, but too many people like the integrated calendars and scheduling, etc.
We're considering Ximian Evolution and Connector for the desktops because it' integrates well with Exchange Server, but that's only if we have to keep MS Exchange. If there's a good replacement for Exchange server's non-mail functions, I'd like to hear about it.
