Using Postfix and Cyrus-IMAP here, both on small Soekris-based SOHO-Routers with a few users (5 to 20 per office), as well as on a few big corporate networks with approx. 6000+ users each, and many virtual domains. Postfix has proved both dead-easy to configure and able to withstand many waves of serious DDoS attacks by rate-limiting itself. Its anti-spam features, if used right, are also quite effective. I've used sendmail extensively in the past, and that was not bad either, though a little tough to configure for edge cases. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
