Comment Qmail runs very well (Score 1) 23
I've been using qmail for a couple years and it works great. It does feature SPAM filtering and prevention techniques, though some of them aren't distributed with the man package. However from being on the qmail mailing list for a while I can tell you SPAM prevention was a big focus.
Additionally when paired with serialmail qmail runs really well over modem links. You can setup a virtualdomain to hold mail in a queue until a user connects and then flush the mail to the users personal linux box for delivery into user's mailboxes. I realize this can be done with other tools, but qmail does this easily and it works great.
Also regarding a POP server, personally I use a patched version of the University of Washington's POP/IMAP server and it runs really well. I know a large ISP who does this as well.
Finally you may be interested to know that there are some very large sites on the net using qmail, or at least they appear to be (you never know for sure). I believe Rocketmail (or maybe it was hotmail), and Internic were both believed to be using qmail.
Overall I highly recommend using qmail, it runs great and is easier to configure than sendmail.
