I do not think this has changed.

It says this:

Microsoft Exchange

Currently Exchange is running fine in smaller environments.
Tested Version

    Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 on Microsoft Server 2008 R2

Tested Features

    Sending and Receiving E-Mails using SMTP
    SMTP and IMAP connection from Thunderbird
    MAPI Connections using MS Outlook
    SSO using Windows 7 Domain Clients

Not Supported Versions

Exchange 2013 SP1 requires the LDAP control LDAP_SERVER_NOTIFICATION_OID which is currently not implemented in Samba 4. This functionality is planned at a later point in time. Until then, the Univention Active Directory Connector can be used to connect Exchange 2013 SP1 with the UCS domain.

The last part is wrong,  LDAP_SERVER_NOTIFICATION_OID was added at
Samba 4.5.0

If you notice, exchange is installed on a windows server. Univention
also uses ldap and proxies to it, so I think that is how they are doing
it.
