There is no right answer to that. Or more accurately there are too many
right answers...

Here I run everything on postfix and dovecot (the 1.0 betas), with an
openLDAP backend for the accounts.
(plus mailscanner, pyzor, clamav, spamassassin and postgrey to reduce
the UCE flood)

There are many HOWTOs on the internet to assist with this kind of setup.
postfix and dovecot are relatively easy to configure.

I would read a few of them and see which MTA/IMAP server you think looks
like the best combination for *you* (config file sytax, level/quantity
of documentation etc)

incidentally, asking people to recommend MTAs is like asking
what is the best linux desktop environment? or
which editor is best?

Stuart
