Easiest doesn't necessarily fit with most secure ... or everyone would be using Windows and Macs? You have to understand what you are setting up, and sometimes that understanding doesn't come "easy" and security isn't a check box. What is easy for you - is it the same as what is easy for me? I started from scratch with the O'Reilly sendmail book ... It's your network, your requirements, your time. Webmail? TLS? POP? IMAP? Volume of email? Why do you think there are so many choices in open source - what one person found easy/useful/secure didn't work for someone else. sendmail, popa3d, and openwebmail have worked for /me/ for a very low volume mail server. I didn't find it that easy (but I learnt a lot on the way, it wasn't time wasted.) I don't know how secure it is. But as Christer has said, if it's in the OpenBSD base, that should mean something. As always - YMMV!
