Ok, so this really doesn't say much in terms of software in use.  Almost all<br>
SMTP/IMAP/POP servers are open source, and could be anything from sendmail 8<br>
to postfix.  If you're capping it, just run what's in place and learn it, I'd<br>
think most people in networking have configured apache once or twice before.<br>
