I have to agree with Clarkconnect, except you can only have 10 mail users with the free version.

For the clients side, my favorite flavor of Linux is Ubuntu.
For trees my favourite color is green, while for fire engines it is red.
This is something you don't have to back up with some arguments, as a non-green tree (at least from spring to fall) doesn't look that healthy and who has ever heard of a yellow fire engine?
Here in California we have green fire engines (US Forestry) and red (burning) trees! At least in the summer. ;-P
Your case up there looks a bit different: It is easy to say that those are your favourite flavors - but can you substantiate that somehow? Especially as ClarkConnect and SME are based (or at least were based) on CentOS but mostly lack a large community behind them -> Vendor Lock-In.
SME has quite an array of addon packages. www.contribs.org.
