What I'm using right now is Postfix with the Cyrus-SASL authentication
for mail relaying (I have a username and password for each user), and
Cyrus IMAP-UW over stunnel (for SSL). It's fast, and fairly inexpensive
(in time and effort) to setup. Ongoing administration is questionable -
I haven't been doing it long enough to gauge.

There is a SSL-aware web server, running IMP (http://www.horde.org/)
for those users who don't have/want a client.

Only problem is that Postfix's SMTPd dies on signal 10's (this is specifically
a SASL/Postfix issue, rather than a Postfix issue) occasionally.
