Linux or FreeBSD, I am putting in a good word for @Mail - if you want
commercial software. It relies on
Exim+Courier-imap+SpamAssassin+Clamav.. (www.calacode.com)

Linux only - Try the Open Source version or even the commercial version
of Zimbra (www.zimbra.com). Zimbra is not my first priority though.

For pure open source (uses Exim, courier, SA, DSPAM, MySQL) try
http://silverwraith.com/vexim). I have run this for years with
over 2000 domains, each with average 10 users!
