Yes. We have around 2000 users and it works quite well.
phpgroupware/sendmail/MIMEDefang/clamav gives us shared calendars,
global address books, check in/out functions, web, pop3 & imap4 mail,
spam filtering, & anti virus scanning all in one system that doesn't
even yawn at 15,000 messages a day. (before sobig & blaster) Total cost?
$0. Compared to 4 Exchange servers at $1,200 per, plus $50 per client
license (x 2000) to connect = $104,800. To try to be a proponent of a
solution like Microsoft offers would definitely be a valid argument of
"more money than brains"
We've made some worthwhile contributions to mail-abuse.org,
phpgroupware, sendmail, spamcop.net and other open source providers though.
