Novell is sponsoring development of a new email/calendar server called Hula. This promises to be an Exchange killer, providing standards-based calendar sharing and storage using WebCal to share calendars and free/busy information. It's also a complete SMTP/IMAP/POP server with a built-in web interface, vacation messages, and eventually the ability to do server-side sorting and spam and virus filtering.

The project was announced last week, but they already have a working version, mainly because it's built upon Novell's NetMail product. Evolution, Chandler, and Mozilla Thunderbird will all support this soon!
