It's an odd mix of qmail with a replacement front-end in perl (qpsmtpd) that can do spam/virus scans, maildir format delivery and dovecot for imap/pop. Performance is pretty good. It also has hoarde/imp for webmail and one of the management simplifications is that if you add a 'group', you get a unix permissions group that can be used for file sharing and an email group address at the same time. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
