Does each mailbox require a license?
i.e. 50 mailboxes = 50 licenses?

i am trying to determine if i want to go with exchange server, or an open
source version.

thanks

Not necesarily... because you can have 3 sets of 50 users sharing a computer
(which would be 150 mailboxes). However, with SBS2k you need a license for
each device that access the mailbox. Let's say you only have 5 computers...
you only need 5 CALs (even if you had 1000 mailboxes).
