Exim: Its documentation is a joke I think. It is 800 pages, but unusable for anything but reading it from the start, but if you want to search in it quickly and haven't read it before, because you just want to put in something, then it is unusable. Features: probably rich enough. Speed: much sl

Use qmail and vpopmail. They are both packaged to debian, so there should not be much of a problem for it. Vpopmail is a virtual domain pop3 server suited for serving as many as 23million POP3 mailboxes taking up only one system user, integrating with qmail and other qmail-extension software. It
