I've been using Qmail/Vpopmail/Courier-IMAP/Squirrelmail for nearly 2
years now, and find that it's a very good set of tools to work with.
Combined with qmail-scanner and a patch to reject unknown users, you've
got a great email solution.

I've used postfix in the past, and was quite pleased with it, but found
that Qmail was a better solution for me (though I intend to check back
into Postix again some day).

I've heard great things about Exim, but have no personal experience with
it.  As I understand it, it's speed and security are on par with Qmail
and Postfix, and it's feature set just might blow both of them away
(think embedded perl).
