Linux Journal just ran an article about a large-scale migration to postfix,
etc. It can be found in the following links:

We also just implemented a Dell CX-600 SAN for all of our Windows boxes.
It's fantastic. However, we found out (after purchase) that HP will not
support the connection from our N-Class HP-UX servers to the CX-600.
Apparently they only support connections to HP SANs (shocking!) and the EMC
Symetrix stuff (probably to other brands...don't know).
