I have a beta HOWTO on how to install qpsmtpd on SME. The HOWTO is available at http://www.openminddev.net/twiki/bin/view/Main/MitelSME
qpsmtpd is a qmail-smtpd replacement written in perl, written by Ask Bj�rn Hansen. Its main feature is that it is easy to create 'plugins' to do things with your mail. A number of plugins for removing spam (including dropping it at the SMTP level) have been written (can query relays.ordb.org and spamsources.fabel.dk for example). There is also a plugin for checking mail with clamav anti-virus, and a few people have written plugins for dropping mail to non-existant users. I have not tested the spamassssin and clamav plugins on SME yet. That is next on my TODO list. [BETA] sql_maillog plugin for qpsmtpd. I've done a plugin to qpsmtpd that logs a fair amount of connection info to a mysql database. In particular it logs: The time, remote_host dns name and ip address, the sender return address, the recipient, the size of the mail header and body, and the actual header of the mail. This allows precise tracking of how much data an indiviual user is sending and receiving via email. It also allows for dynamic spam blocking. For example, if an IP address sends mail to 5 non-existant users, we could immediately add them to our personal 'blacklist'. See http://www.openminddev.net/twiki/bin/view/Main/QpsmtpdPlugins for info on the sql_maillog plugin.
