Everyone has a favorite MTA; mine's Courier: http://www.courier-mta.org/ I keep apt-get-able rpm packages here: http://www.dragonsdawn.net/apt/redhat/7.2/en/i386/RPMS.dragonsdawn/ The standard distribution tarball can be built into an rpm package trivially. (rpm -ta <tarball>) Courier is a complete messaging suite. It has POP3, IMAP, SMTP, web based email, SSL for everything, and is getting web based calendaring and fax capabilities in recent versions. It has a secure, modular design (like just about everything but sendmail). And it all comes in one neat, well integrated package. > (2) The ability to setup Mailing Lists that people can subscribe to > either by sending an email to my daemon or by a web page interface. Courier comes with its own list manager: couriermlm. I've also modified Red Hat's packages to work with Mailman, but haven't tested it much. > I'm willing to read and learn, but I hear that sendmail and majordomo > are bears to setup so that's why I'm askling for public opinion.

Courier is the only single Free Software package that can really be compared to MS Exchange (AFAIK). I'll probably be flamed for saying that, but it's intended to be able to replace that (dis)service.
