I would suggest postfix, spamassassin/procmail set server wide and the 
pop/imap server of your choice. Both postfix and spamassassin have detailed 
how-to's on their sites. IMHO postfix is much easier to configure than 
sendmail, but  then I haven't used sendmail in years. Make sure you use the 
spamassassin binary (spamd) or it can get very slow. Spamassassin has 
whitelist/greylist, blacklist and RBH available.
