This article is a year old, but talks about the  alternatives to 
Exchange.  Apparently CommunigatePro is an option.

The interesting thing to watch about SUSE OpenExchange (also known as 
SLOX) is that making the code GPL should make it available on more than 
just SUSE linux.  And, perhaps the rate of development will increase.
