I recently created a Postfix mail server on a debian system. The
complete list is: 
Postfix
Courier-imap
TLS Auth to machine accounts
Squirrelmail
Amavisd-new 
clamav
spamassassin

I set it up by searching various how-to articles and by purchasing the
O'reilly Postfix book (which is very good) and the O'reilly Spamassassin
which covered the Amavisd-new, spamassassin, and clamav parts very
well. 

It serves my 60 users with about 3k messages a day and has been a really
great setup. 10 users are forward to a MS Exchange server so it works
well as a gateway for those users as well. It's been a very flexible
setup for me and I got it up and running in a couple of days. 

I can lookup the online how-to if you need. Most were debian orientated,
but it's mostly a matter of the software install in the end.
