I'm going to go with the Postfix/Dovecot chorus here, which has worked
very well for me, with one caveat: Dovecot doesn't like concurrent
access to mailboxes. There were plans to fix this a while ago, but the
sole batch of users who often use concurrent mailboxes are still unhappy
about this. (Dovecot doesn't eat data or anything; it just drops the
connection.)
As to spam control, greylisting works very well; spamd or postgrey will
be extremely helpful.
