This is typical of any large organisation.They always look at the details, not that we dont, but for them, its more about the fear of losing money due to unreliable service than lack of appreciation of the application. If you presented your case with the support of one of the list members who is in bed with Novell/SuSE or became one of the OpenExchange partners (http://www.openexchange.com/EN/partner/), you could have a stronger case. Then again, you probably dont have the time to spend chasing a dinosour and if its already working, why fix it.
