Um well, that really depends on what you need mail to do. On the light end... iMail from IPSwitch is an appropriate solution for some. Mercury mail has its fans and I'd be using mailsite for one of my personal domains if they'd give me a free copy.
On the collaborative end... We used Exchange 5.5 with some success at my last gig for fewer than 20 users. I don't really know that much about it, but they seemed to like it. It's also running on my home server at the moment for my wife, son and dog. Damn dog has a lot of calendar data though.
