Depends on what you mean by "mail server". 1. Internet facing mail exchanger which sends out mail for a domain and receives mail from the internet (to delivery to mail spool). 2. Mail spool server which stores mail, performs local delivery and provides IMAP/POP access to mail. 3. A web interface to mail which is integrating with a calendar service. One or more of the above could be combined. Some form of spam filtering would be required in (1) and/or (2) and some form of user authentication would be required for (2) and/or (3). The "courier" and "citadel" suite of programs provided integrated solutions. On the other hand we keep things separate at IMSc and use "exim" for the SMTP part, "dovecot" for the IMAP/POP and "horde/squirrelmail" for the web interface.
