Not wanting to defend MS too much, but if your 40 user Exchange installation needs reinstalling every 6 weeks, you need a better administrator. My 2 server (one for users, one for external connectors) 1500 account setup has been fault-free for the last year or more, except for the time someone let it run out of disk space whilst I was on holiday. However, Exchange is an absolute pain to secure, and will quite happily relay mail unless you chant the appropriate incantations. If you need the group-scheduling facilities, you could do worse than use Exchange. If you don't need them, don't go anywhere near it.
