I think you will get better answers if you specify your
requirements a little more.

- Will you require multiple users?

- Multiple users in multiple domains?

- User can add and remove their own mailboxes within domains that
are "theirs"?

- How do you want users to access their email?

    - Directly on the server (local MUA e.g. Mutt)?


    - IMAPS?


    - Web interface?


- Are you looking at antispam and antivirus built in to the
solution or will you bolt that on later?

- Are we talking just email or shoulf this include groupware such as
calendaring and meetings?

Cheers,
Andy
