Ironically, after many years of faithful Linux use we're going down the Exchange route and mail handling to be given over to another department. I doubt we'll see a SA Linux box there. Oh well. I'm used to disapointments over the years, so it wasn't too much of a surprise to me.
You might be able to get your security group to take responsibility for it. Many enterprises now consider first-line email servers something of an application-level proxy, particularly first-line servers that handle spam and malware filtering. In these cases, they're usually handled by the security department.
I would imagine given the choice of an Exchange front-end server vs. a Linux-based SMTP gateway, they'd jump for the later.
