Well, if you're in "purchase" mode, think of this before you go out and 
buy something:

Price of a mail relay worth its salt (postfix, sendmail, exim...): $0

Price of a POP3 or IMAP4 server (like cyrus imapd): $0

Price of an easy-to-secure O/S to run all of this: $0

Firewall to protect the machine running the O/S: $0 (included in the O/S)

Antivirus to filter out viruses before they even reach your users' 
inboxes (such as ClamAV for example): $0

I assume you already have the machine and the network connectivity.
