I'm using sendmail and imap-uw. I am using greylisting (milter-greylist) and
virus-filtering (clamav with clamav-milter) in sendmail, plus I have
spamassassin available to the users via procmail (which is set as sendmail's
LDA). This setup works very well for my users.

Setting this stuff up in sendmail is also a good time to set up SSL/TLS and
SMTP AUTH. :)

Good luck,

Josh

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor
do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger
is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either
a daring adventure, or nothing.
