I will second Robby's plug for Postfix.   Some people would disagree, 
but postfix is a lot better of an MTA for most cases.   Sendmail can to 
anything - it is almost scary.  It has these tragic config files, that 
actually have to be compiled, etc, etc.   If you have a choice, and 
don't know the reasons why you should choose one or the other: choose 
postfix.

there are a ton of pop servers.  I used Solar Designers pop3 daemon when 
I need it.  He has a great history in the online security.

As far as webmail, I quite NOCC - I have not used it in 2 years.  maybe 
it has improved.  I went to Squirrelmail, and whatever else it is it is: 
Stable, Speedy, and flexible.

I use it primarily with Cyrus-IMAPD.   Cyrus is pretty cool, it has a 
wierd security setup.  However, it is bar-none the most featured imap 
server that I ahve used.

There is also DBMail, and several others.

Why are you doing Pop3?  If you need to put in service, to most people I 
recommend IMAP, since it has server-side message storage. Complete with 
folders, [and with Cyrus you get sharing and ACLs, etc, etc.]

thanks,
  Joshua
