I use Postfix as an MTA on my own servers because it's easy to configure
and very stable. I add Courier for POP and IMAP, and Squirrelmail for
webmail access. I also add amavis and use it to pipe the mail through
spamassassin and clam A/V. Setup including securing takes about two
hours (on Debian) and I rarely have to touch it again.

This may sound complicated to someone unfamiliar with the terms but I
can assure you it's a lot simpler than installing and configuring Exchange.

Of course this can all be done quickly and easily using e-smith, but
they use QMail instead of Postfix.

There are a number of open source groupware products that may be better
suited depending on your requirements. For example the above doesn't
offer sharing of calendars.

regards,
Peter.
