Software.com have a Post.Office e-mail management system which runs on SunOS4, Solaris, Irix, DEC Unix, HPUX, BSDi 2.1, AIX. You'll find them at www.software.com. Below is their response to my enquiry regarding FreeBSD. The system looks reasonable and reasonably priced for use on FreeBSD mailservers for customers to maintain.

The more interest we have, the more likely we will be supporting it in the future. To that end, if you know people who would be interested in Post.Office on FreeBSD, have them bug and pester us. The more interest there is... Also, as you indicated, we do not DIRECTLY offer Post.Office on the Linux operating system. However, we did allow Infomagic, one of our OEMs to port Post.Office to Linux. They are responsible for distributing and supporting Post.Office on this platform. You will find their website at www.infomagic.com. Hope this helps...
