The license fee for Exchange swamps the OS license. I expect you could run VMWare with Windows as a guest OS, but for something as critical as your mail server, I would dedicate a Windows machine to it. I doubt it would work with WINE. Basically, if you have to hold your nose to run Exchange, you may as well hold it a little tighter and run Windows. If not, look at FreeBSD/Sendmail-or-Postfix/Evolution as a very reliable mail service.
