You can try Postfix + Dovecot + Windows Active Directory 2003 + Roundcube 
webmail. I deployed one for customer based on iRedMail, works like a charm.

Postfix and Dovecot can auth user against AD directly, include normal user, 
mail list, and Roundcube can use AD as global LDAP address book too. :)
