You and Thomas both mentioned Courier.  I'll take a closer look at both Courier-MTA and Courier-IMAP to see if they may fit my strategy.

I appreciate the advice on choosing a distro's default.  Frankly, I don't know what the distros I have use; I've been told not to use the same machine for both web server and email server so I didn't install it on the web server.  The other distros aren't being used right now, just FC4.  I got too confused trying to remember one distro from another... it's bad enough going from KDE to Gnome!

Thanks,
