I would be careful with Scalix. My son used to work at a place where they
went with Scalix for 300+ users. The day to day maintenance on it can be a
real bear. When you have a real problem that requires support, Scalix support
is less than helpful. He left that job for another but still keeps in touch
with his old boss. The old boss has told him that due to the Scalix problems
they are budgeting for replacing Scalix with Exchange.
On the other side of the coin, when it works, it works well and integrates well
with Outlook. It is just overly complex under the hood.
FWIW, they had Scalix running for 3+ years.
