Postfix works fine. Sendmail or qmail would do the trick as well. Depends
on your personal preference.

Agreed.

You should check if both your MTA, IMAP/POP3, and delivery agent (procmail
for instance) will support MySQL authentication.

Don't use IMP for a large userbase. IMP is slow and bloated. The interface
is really slick, but it's a real CPU/MEM hog.

I'd go for squirrelmail if I were you.

Agreed.

I'm not into Anti-Virus, so I can't help you there.
