I use Exim as my mail transport agent (the server part), procmail as a delivery agent (it allows you to filter mail according to rules you specify, and is very flexible), spamd/spamc to check each incoming message for spam content, and mutt to read and compose mails. All of these packages are in the ports, and all have good documentation supplied. Oh, and they're all "free". If you want to include Apache in your mail setup, you could also try something like SquirrelMail, which provides an HTML interface to your e-mail. Haven't used it though, so don't know what it is capable of. However, you shouldn't see any problems with running a mail setup and apache on the same system. However, this being FreeBSD, there are many many other possible configurations, all as valid as each other... I arrived at my particular combination of apps after trying out all sorts of others. Good luck!
