I don't use Exchange myself but IIRC this is correct. Brutus is a proxy
between Evolution and the Exchange server, and runs under Windows (so as
to use the MAPI library). On the Evolution list a while back someone
mentioned that they had got it to work via a VM running Windows, so you
don't need a separate box.
