yea, it does seem to work quite well with MS's mapi client, and does
run well on FreeBSD.  Support is good, and is pretty scalable.  It's
been a while since I've had to work with it, but from what I remember
it's a decent platform for SMB's as well as ISP's.  That is if you do
not have the man-power/resources to build and admin a Postfix or
Sendmail solution.  It's also pretty trivial to add calander support,
and spam/AV filtering, has a pretty decent scripting API (in PERL if I
remember correctly) and a web-based client is included.


As for large scale MTA's, I still think postfix or sendmail are really
your only sane choices.  They are both quite flexible, and do not lock
you into one hardware/OS which some would consider a good thing.
