Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 (Notes from the Field) by Microsoft Press
This book is not written by any one person, but rather different people from within Microsoft Product Support Service and Microsoft Consulting Services. While the book is not very general, it has some very specific solutions. If you are running an extremely large (more than 30 servers/sites, for example) then Chapter 8 has some excellent information on Exchange backbone design. The book also contains some very detailed information about connectivity with Lotus Notes, cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail and Fisher EMC2/TAO - SNADS Systems. The book is not for everyone, but if any of these things ring a bell, you should pick it up.
