I use dovecot and I like it, but it's just a household server. > 3.2. Web Mail? I don't do that, because I don't want to go to the effort of making sure it is and stays secure, but from what I hear I'd probably try squirrelmail first if I were doing it. > 3.2. AV / Spam filtering? I use spamassassin. You can plug most other analyzers into it.
