[K12OSN] Emails for large districts

[David Hopkins]

Delaware's DOE IT evaluated Zimbra, liked it and then decided to
implement MS Exchange anyway because they didn't want to 'retrain'
users. At least that is what I was told.  The cost of implementing
Exchange is going to run into "very large numbers" as opposed to any
other solution, but remember, Delaware bragged about being one of the
first three to sign up with MS'es beta program way back when.
