I've used zimbra for a number of clients over a several year period in the past and it is solid/reliable - however, my experience was with the commercial package running on RHEL5. The experience might be completely different for someone running the open-source feature set under gentoo. Also, while zimbra does provide pretty much all the features that one normally expects of an exchange type server and is extremely supportive of outlook, it does go its own way. I'm not sure that the features are that awesome, but it did somewhat also serve as a google apps alternative for cross platform users that didn't want to trust their email to the cloud.
