I am interested in information on what software small, medium, and
large ISPs use for email services. When I refer to "email services" I
mean SMTP, POP, IMAP, web mail interfaces, and the back-end
administrative tools. Do many/most ISPs use big, expensive enterprise
tools for this? Piece their own systems together using various
commerical/free tools for the different parts? Or do they roll their
own almost top to bottom?

I have experience doing email for small and medium corporate sites (in
the 100's of internal users), but the particular project I am working
on is for customers, not internal users, and could quickly balloon
from the few dozen on the current demonstration system to a few
thousand. Any firsthand info or pointers to more information would be
greatly appreciated.
