RE: MS exchange alternatives for FreeBSD
There is a project out there to try to emulate the Microsoft NetBIOS interface on MS Exchange to allow clients like Outlook to share calendaring. The reports are that it doesen't work that well. I don't know if they have gone past exchanging mail with it. But I do not recommend that approach. I recommend that users jettison Outlook calendar entirely and switch to a web interfaced calendar that you run on a webserver. However, often users don't want to do this and if that is the case you still can run a shared calendar on a webserver, you just have to designate an admin to be in charge of it. In that scenario, users that want to make private calendar entries in their Outlook calendars can continue to do that. If they want to make a shared calendar entry then they either send an e-mail to the calendar admin person, or they make the appointment in their personal Outlook calendar, then once the appointment is made they open the appointment and do a File Save As and save the appointment to a vcalendar file, then e-mail the vcalendar file to the calendar admin. When the calendar admin either imports the vcalendar file into the master web-based calendar, or just reads the e-mail and enters the appointment, the admin can then export a vcalendar file from the appointment on the master calendar and e-mail it to all users in the organization and when they get the vcalendar file they just click on it and it will import into their personal Outlook calendars. It is really a lot easier to just tell the users to use the master webinterface calendar. After all they have to be connected to the network to send and receive e-mail, so when they are doing that it is no trouble to call up a web browser and look at the master calendar. And they can of course export the appointments from the webinterface on the master calendar to their own Outlooks, and even to their own PDAs and such, by themselves if they insist on continuing to use Outlook calendar. The better master calendar programs allow users to run their own calendars on the calendar server.

WebCalendar (*webcalendar*.sourceforge.net) can do the job of shared schedule for iCal compatible clients The problem is that M$ Outlook is not compatible with the standard... :-( Last time I'm looked, some opensource plugins could be used for partial compatibility of Outlook with iCal.

Re: MS exchange alternatives for FreeBSD
Well doing this, before... research wise Hula from Suse, now open source,
and a work in progress or SugarCRM/Vtiger (Sugar fork) Ive heard of
OpenExchange running but it requires work and research.

I don't know whether it works on FBSD, but http://www.openchange.org/looks
promising
