Courier is a good thing, but not always the best :). I would use Postfix/Exim for incoming, qmail/postfix(*) for primary sending and postfix/exim for the fallback relays.
(*)Though someone did post recently to postfix users saying that he found that the latest postfix was faster than qmail, but has given no numbers. Courier would be for the imap server, and mail routing done through a database/ldap. That is the software part. And, as Suresh said, you need competent admins. Very competent ones. And then the policy part. Make sure you have strong antispam policies, and enforce them. For hardware, how high do you want to scale? You will need raid (RAID 5 recommended), preferably SCSI in the beginning, if not a Netapp. What other services will you be offering? How will the users be accessing their email? Only a web interface? pop/imap clients also?
