0) harden your mail server to minimize exploitable vulnerabilities

( a debian box
b) pick what you want it to do ..
- configure it for antispam
http://www.Linux-Sec.net/Mail/AntiSpam/
- rbls, reverse dns,
- fake users sending and receiving
- bad headers, bad subject, bad content,
- blah blah to filter against
- configure it for antivirus
http://www.Linux-Sec.net/Mail/AntiVirus/
- configure it for foo-features
- think you wanted ldap features too ??

c) pick which pop server you want
- imap ??? ( bad choice )
- use secure imap instead

d) play with apt-get options to see whats available in *.deb packages
e) webmail vs ldap ?? ( anybody can check email from anywhere )
- i'd pick secure webmail instead

f) configure samba if you have windoze users
