I'd suggest and MTA that you are comfortable with and a POP
or IMAP server that can meet your undescribed needs. I use
sendmail and spamassassin.
I use Sendmail Inc's IMAP server (commercial) on another OS
(I TRIED to get support for NetBSD/Sparc but they didn't
see the market I guess). Cyrus is lovely and powerful.
Sieve is nice.
LDAP handles aliases and mail routing (and authentication,
and other stuff).
I know my setup could, with better disks, handle 100k users.
I have fewer than that (by nearly 100k :). but it meets
my needs.
