For sure Tom. The big pros are it's something I wouldn't have to mess with
too much (not that I'm averse to that but I am a one man shop) but we have
it internal now (on a Linux appliance) and we have a Windows server we could
use so the initial cost would only be Exchange and the CAL's. Decisions,
decisions :-)

You will need a new, fairly large server. For that number of
mailboxes, DO NOT run Exchange on the same system that is already
doing file & print, unless it is way under utilized and has lots of
free disk space. We also have a separate (small) proxy server outside
the firewall for OWA, so that the email server does not get hit
directly from the outside world.

We have a similar number of users; it takes ~1/2 a person to manage on
an ongoing basis.
