I played around a bit with Exim in an Active Directory environment. It
worked in my limited testing. I configured pam to authenticate to AD.
Once the machine was aware of the AD users, Exim worked seamlessly. I
imagine the same would be true for all/most MTAs.

I'm not really qualified to recommend one, but I used dovecot and it worked
fine. It was easy to set up, too. I was using IMAPS exclusively.
This was all done on a Debian Etch server, authenticating to a Windows 2003
Active Directory server. My mail was sent and received through a smarthost
at the parent company (where it was scanned for spam, then got appended to
it a huge privacy disclaimer against my will).
