Depends on what OS and MTA you like. The most common combo here is
probably Red Hat/Fedora and Sendmail. Depending on your Unix experience
it might be of importance to have many friends. ;-)

Give us a little more info on what hardware and software you want to use
and an estimation of how many mail you will process a day and we can
guide you better from there.
