If you look at the Volution Messaging Server, they basically are providing a specialized version of a Standard Linux system. Read about what they include. Basically, they're providing POP3/IMAP/SMTP (which is standard for all Linux servers), LDAP for addressbook, FTP for central schedule location. If you read it in-depth, you could probably build your server for the cost of a good system and a LInux Server install (I'd be sure to use on with Webmin for Web-administration, like COLS). This is not a difficult thing to set up. SCO just decided to create a package which bundles it all together and fills in a little around the edges (mainly in installation and packaging). You'll notice that they chose Postfix for the MTA, although a good Email admin won't fear Sendmail :)
