The worst I have to say really is SuSe mail server( http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/suse_business/email_server/ ) but it looks like it has some promise, SCO's Volution (VMS - http://www.caldera.com/products/volutionmsg/ ) isn't far behind and is quite expensive (and looks like it isn't about to change). Samsung Contact isn't too bad, but for the features it provides and the fact that it's just a follow on from HP's Openmail, they shouldn't really charge for it at all. The best of the lot really is GMS (Gordano Messaging Suite - http://www.ntmail.co.uk/Home/Case_Studies.htm ) which unlike the others has been built from scratch and is well worth paying for. There are some promising looking products in the OSS community aswell (RM-EMS - http://sourceforge.net/projects/rhems/ , Kroupware - http://kroupware.kde.org/ and Courier - http://www.courier-mta.org/) It can also be acheived using the freely available singular parts (most of the commercial projects are based on free components with a few scripts to tie them together and a web based management interface). If you want to do it this way I'd suggest, OpenLDAP, Cyrus-IMAP and Exim.
