Yes, and I've talked to a lot of them.   You'd be surprised how many  
of these companies don't actually do the thing they talk about a lot  
-- policy enforcement ;-)   (unless you count attachment filtering as  
policy enforcement)

And many/most of them are Exchange-only solutions.

Money is not the problem, functionality is.  I could easily build  
something in house but this is not legally desirable for dozens of  
reasons including my lack of desire to stand on the witness stand and  
defend whether or not I could have adjusted the archive for my  
employer.   So something that nobody in the company has root access to  
is ideal ;-)   We're open to both appliances and hosted solutions for  
this.
