If it isn't too late for me to chime in on this, subject...
My company uses sendmail & qmail for e-commerce and Exchange for the 900
or
so employees. I was forced to switch over to Outlook/Exchange when the
company
was around 400 employees and today I'm back on mutt. When last I
counted, we
had 9 Exchange servers to handle the load. The Calendaring feature quit
being
reliable back around employee 500 (I'm guessing, it started about two
months
after I started using it). It's not that it didn't work out-right, but
it would
schedule people based on the wrong time zones and allow meetings to be
scheduled
when you were marked as on vacation and all sorts of things that just
made many
of us to abandon that feature. It crashes about every three months, the
last time
it was down for the better part of a week. After they restored it, the
main
server would no longer allow POP clients to connect and the admins never
figured
that one out. So they moved all the POP accounts off to one of the
non-loaded
servers and it took several weeks for the e-mail to quit bouncing inside
of the
Exchange system.
We are now evaluated HP OpenMail to replace it.
