We use Cyrus 2.1.x to support 99 users today with capacity to scale to
500 users in the future. Hardware is IBM xSeries x240 with ServeRAID
4H and plenty of RAID5 storage. The OS is Red Hat 7.3 + errata.

We don't have a client side policy since our user base is 'Linux
smart'. This allows the users to pick clients they feel comfortable
with. We recommend Mozilla, Evolution, and fetchmail however.

In the Feb 2003 LinuxJournal has a feature story on replacing
Exchange. The story is not online as far as I an tell but here are the
resources:

Exchange Server HOWTO
http://www.arrayservices.com/projects/Exchange-HOWTO/

Bynari InsightServer

From what I understand Bynari has a produt that works with Outlook
(Express?) to handle the groupware features such as calendars. The
mail store is of course Cyrus IMAPd.
