Just wanted to get some thoughts from the list.....
We are a public k-12 school and are looking to migrate to a groupware style system for out staff to collaborate better. Currently we are using Squirrelmail/postfix for email. Does anyone have any recommendations/opinions. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I've been evaluating some packages for my employer the last few months. The two products I have narrowed it down to my needs are eGroupware and Zimbra.
So far, I'm leaning towards Zimbra, because it seems to offer a nice e-mail system with an easy to use interface for users. There is a community edition and a commercial edition.

I too am currently using Postfix and Squirrelmail, and would like to keep using Postfix as the primary transport system. There is a way to configure Zimbra to act as a secondary system forwarding mail to Postfix, but I can't find the link right now.
There are also methods to migrate to Zimbra from Squirrelmail using some imapsync scripts to migrate the mailboxes.
By itself though, it seems to have a nice and powerful mail system with all the features of anti-virus, spam, etc.
eGroupware works great too, so make sure you check it out, but I'm thinking of leaning towards Zimbra for my needs.
Check them out.
