Well they do not want an exchange box per se, they want exchange  
features (IE global address in the client, shared calendars, etc - In  
fact that is all they want. I don't even need the rest.). What I meant  
by "Exchange Replacement" was one of the linux packages that were an  
"Exchange Replacement" - such as Scalix, Zimbra, etc.

I myself just haven't had much time or success in finding a good  
calendar server for CentOS (meaning easy to install or update). Nor  
have I tackled LDAP yet for a GAB (global address book). Just more  
time restrictions on my part. My intent was to always document it and  
throw it on the wiki if I ever got one working (either on a toaster  
box, or separate). Then it could help others like me who want to keep  
running the toaster but have pressure from the higher level to add  
more exchange like features.
