sendmail or exim for incoming, qmail / postfix for outbound. qmail is a
straightforward out and out DoS tool, some would say (open up several dozen
simultaneous connections to a remote host and kick the mail out ASAP).
Sendmail / Exim for inbound because of its excellent queue handling and
configurablity (even Postfix would fit the bill). But as we don't deliver
locally on our MXs, but handoff to an internal cluster of qmail boxes, we
prefer sendmail, as qmail kind of sucks on inbound delivery.

Fair enough. LDAP may not scale for large loads - you'd need mysql or
postgres, ideally. However, our loads are *very* large :)

Of course.
In short, this is not a question of putting up a single colocated machine at
vsnl and expecting to run stuff on it. One or more /24s I guess ...
