I've deployed solutions like that, with small changes, for a while. That solution requires more skilled it staff for trivial tasks like provisioning of new accounts.
We found in zimbra a more polished solution, capable of integrating with active directory with a reasonable effort. In that way we keep a single password and account for select users. The admin panel let's our less skilled IT staff take care of more tasks than they actually do. The webmail has a familiar look for people exposed to outlook (most of our users). We can't afford developing a new in-house solution, or enhace the shortcomings of the one we have now. An last, but not least, we purched recently free new domains that have mail handled in a zimbra server. In this case will be doing migration and consolidation. Andrés
