Exchange, SQL, and CF on the same box? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen! Here are a few things that jumped into my head when I read your post:
What happens when you're debugging code that keeps crashing the server, and you have to reboot a dozen times a day (from an Exchange perspective)? What happens when the latest patch for SQL Server isn't compatible with Exchange (why would it be?), and it kills your email server? SQL Server will eat as much memory as it can get its hands on, how will that affect your Exchange server? How much memory/hard drive space are you going to have to have to support a dev. appication server, dev. database server, and production (I assume) email server? Personally, I would keep Exchange off of the box. The CF/SQL setup wouldn't be too bad, but there's no way I would load a production email server on to the same box. That's just my $.02, though.
