I would choose qmail (i use it now and am happy). It is small, fast, secure
and considerably easier to configure than sendmail (no more cryptic cf
directives! and i really know what i'm talking about; i've been dealing with
sendmail for last couple of years). Togheter with qmail You have pop3d (works
only with Maildir)

hmm... I thnik this can be made with QMail (look at www.qmail.org for
pointers on how to do that)
