I need your help.

I am one of the Administrators for an small ISP (1500 users) in the Midwest.
Currently the ISP is running NW GroupWise as it primary mail server.  The
powers that be are wanting to migrate to MS Exchange for our internal users
(40 users), not that big of a deal, but they also would like to see MS
Exchange handle the entire ISP side of the business.  I have tried and tried
to convince TPTB to seperate the mail servers, and run the ISP on a Linux
based mail server, simple POP3 and SMTP.  TPBT are open to suggestion, but I
have yet to convince them why.  There has to be some documented cases,
similar to mine where MS doesn't work.  I need some solid proof or reasoning
why it won't work / or be the best solution.

Remeber TPTB are numbers guys, not "I told you so".....

Please flood my mailbox with documented cases, statistics, and items the
such.

Thanks
ISP Admin.
