We use Wietse Venema's excellent Postfix 2.2.x software, which is modular and designed with security in mind. It's a polar opposite of sendmail, which is monolithic and has a historically spotty track record on security and is generally un-fun to configure. We're using postfix's "virtual" module for local delivery into Maildir/ mailboxes.

The POP3 server is tpop3d by Chris Lightfoot. It has excellent Postfix integration, it talks to the mySQL database for authentication, and supports the Maildir/ mailbox format.

We've also spent a fair amount of time integrating all of this into our forum software to make it a seamless and pleasant email experience.
