(doh, forgot to set my alias... again. Apologies for any duplicates). I suggest looking at Zimbra Community Edition for the entire setup.
Under the very accessible hood it uses postfix, openldap, spamassasin, clamav and the like. They also include DSPAM though disabled by default. If you don't want to do a lot of customization, you can literally just run the install script, configure your domains and be done. If you want to add all types of bells and whistles to postfix or any of the other components you can do that too, without much hassle. Their wiki (wiki.zimbra.com) has a lot of customizations people of have done over the years. For example: http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Improving_Anti-spam_system which includes info about adding Pyzor and Razor. The only annoying part of this is, any configuration you do to their configuration templates will be replaced blindly during an upgrade. However it's easy enough to backup those files and diff them after the upgrade. I do that at work for a few settings and domain white listing in spamassasin. Since you host multiple domains, if you want, there is a way to delegate admin access to people for just their objects (user accounts, distribution lists, etc). You can give them access over their entire domain, just enough access to their individual user account definition and anything in between. I run the Community edition at $HOME (with Linode), and the Network Edition @ $WORK. I honestly don't see myself going back to running the individual components manually ever again after working with Zimbra. Version 7 is in beta now and should see release within the next month or two. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Helps me finish my zimbra talk for the upcoming lug meeting :) .
