My mail setup is Postfix with amavisd-new,
spamassasin(built into amavisd-new) and clamav antivirus.
It was quite easy to setup, and its stable. For IMAP and
POP i use Courier-Imap with SSL, and for webmail i use
SquirrelMail. 

The admin is low (although i only have about 5 LAN users).
I would recommend my mail setup anyday. If you like i can
mail some resources that i used in setting up our server.

I would stay with the 4.x-STABLE branch (4.10) but get
others' input on this.

Cheers,
