Email Server
CCM:
Thanks for all the replies... I'll take a look at all of the options suggested here.
A few things:
My boss is intent on keeping the new server in-house, so no hosted solution such as gmail.
Webmail seems to be on top of the wish list from our clients, so any server I go with needs to have decent webmail capabilities.

Is there a reason (other than maybe price) to go with Windows Small Business Server 2003 rather than 2008?
SteveJ34:
If you want a robust server that by its original design was designed to be a cost effective alternative to Exchange, MDaemon from www.altn.com is worth a look.
It is full featured with tiered pricing based on the number of accounts you need.
Santoro:
I used MDaemon for many years for family email. I recently moved to Google Apps.
Jakobud:
Have you considered using Google Apps? For 50+ employees you'll have to do the pay version, which is $50 per employee per year. If you have less than 50 employees you can go with the free 'standard' route. $50 per user might sound like a lot of money, but that cost is really not that high if you consider the following:
99.9% uptime
Hosted and supported completely by Google
No server or software for you or your IT staff to monitor/backup/service/upgrade/worry about
Dead simple to use
If you are dead set on going with something that is completely free, I'd use Zimbra on a Linux server. We currently run it at our company (15 employees) but we are in the process of migrating to Google Apps at the moment for the above mentioned reasons.
