Hi Mark,

Although I run qmail on my server, I'd probably recommend using
something like postfix for the mail transport agent instead of
qmail or sendmail.  It's much easier to setup and maintain.

For a pop3 server, I'd definitely recommend the University of
Washington imap/pop3 server.

I'd also recommend, if you can, just taking a default distribution
installation (it doesn't matter much which type) and starting
with that since most distributions these days do the initial
setup of that be default as long as you specify you're doing
a mail server install.  All you would need to do then is
to make sure it was secure and the individual mail parts are
setup correctly.
