It is a lot of money, but not expensive. If you do the math an organization with 5000 users gets a fully redundant mail gateway solution for about $1.5 per mailbox per year, including hardware. SA, RBLs, OpenLDAP etc may be free, time is not, and I doubt anyone can build a system with similar capabilities for that money. For the vast majority of organizations that I know email is by far the most important process on the internet: it is mission critical.
