I'll put in another vote for Courier. Three things to know about the developer: 1. He is rabid about reading the documentation 2. He is an absolute RFC purist 3. He has some issues with the 'competition' - see http://www.courier-mta.org/fud/ <big snip> >> and what does anyone think of Sender Policy Framework? >I have yet to implement it, though it's on my list of TODO's.

I'm using the full Courier suite of tools for my home system and have been pleased with the results. I just landed a replacement server and I'm in the process of building a new system with SuSE 9.2 and the latest Courier builds.
