[NTLUG:Discuss] Needed: Words of Wisdom on email server setups

[Chris J Albertson]

I use postfix and postgrey as stated by Preston. Postgrey is really 
pretty nice, but a lot of spammers are starting to get around this.
I use courier IMAP for IMAP access.
My mail is stored in Maildir format.

I use spamassassin.

I also use ASK. (Active Spam Killer)  http://a-s-k.sourceforge.net/ 
ASK is a challenge response process.

For webmail I like IMP for Horde. (www.horde.org) Horde is a framework 
for many applications. (Calendar, mail, rss, address book, etc)

I hope this give you some more suggestions to look at.

Chris
