Just a word of warning here. If all they are using Exchange for is
mail, then no problems. Something like exim or postfix with an LDAP
server for the address book should sort everything out.
If however, they are using it for shared calendaring or the calendar
and mail client integration, be careful. I don't know of any
applications on Unix platforms that provide this kind of 'groupware'.
If anyone has any information to contradict this, I'd be interested to
hear it. I'd love to be able to punt a decent alternative to Exchange.
