Hopefully this isn't too off-topic....

After running a successful and reliable Linux/Sendmail installation for 3
years, the boss has decided we absolutely must have Microsoft Exchange.

While I would like to be able to provide group scheduling and todo lists, I
can't see any way of doing this with open source systems. Samsung Contact
offers some hope in that it will still run on Linux. MS Outlook will not
cope with the volume of Email I receive. Nor will it (apparrently)
automatically sort incoming mail without MS Exchange. 

Anybody any sound advice regarding the pitfalls? Can one implement
hot-desking using Outlook? Currently we use Eudora on the desktops, and
were planning to transfer the data and config to a file server to allow this.

What other nasty's await us? I previously worked at site where there were
about 50 users connected to a MS Exchange server which seemed to be a full
time job administering it, and was very unreliable. Unfortunately my boss
thinks that I'm just being obstinate so supporting URLs would be a help.
