I would go for RHEL as that is the main distribution I work with and 
build for. I can assist you with far more issues on RHEL than any other 
distribution. Both the Debian and Ubuntu builds are done by other people 
and, let's say, I have a few problems with the quality and timeliness of 
those builds.

I would get ClamAV from rpmforge (or packages.sw.be), and I always 
install my own build of SpamAssassin from my ClamAV+SpamAssassin package 
(you tell it not to install ClamAV when it asks you). I know nothing 
about Anomy, so you're on your own there.

Postfix is fine, I strongly recommend you use the latest beta of 
MailScanner as 4.76 had one or two minor Postfix problems which I have 
since fixed. I will release a new stable release of 4.77 on 1st July 
anyway, and that will be very close to the current beta as it is working 
so nicely.

Hope that helps you!

If you have any problems, questions, requests or suggestions, please do 
get in touch straight away and I will help you as much as I can. Others 
here can help you with Postfix questions better than I can, as I use 
sendmail myself.

Jules
