Okay. I concur about dovecot. It's a great POP and IMAP server. You probably
ARE using procmail since it is the de facto local delivery agent used with
Sendmail. SpamAssassin 3.1.x is what I would use for spam processing.

For web-based e-mail, I like OpenWebMail, but SquirrelMail is pretty nice too.
