I've been running it for several years now, for my main mail domain tooleweb.ca plus a few others I host for family.
My setup is without the M$ stuff, but it's trivial to setup the linux box to forward mail to any other mail server rather than delivering locally. Between this setup and Thunderbird as the client, I cannot honestly remember the last time I found spam in my inbox. A few false positives now and again, usually with mail full of html and links to images. I would consider using apache to reverse proxy OWA, I've used it in the past to reverse proxy troublesome web apps (developers that don't understand relative paths etc...) with great success.
