There is also SME Server.
http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page

It runs on Cento OS now. It was originally based on Redhat 6.2 and known
as E-Smith. It was originally developed from Mitel Network's PBX system.
I had it running at home for a couple of years. If I can get it set up,
including email, anybody on this list should be able to.
