ftpd- proftpd (i absolutely love this ftp server, as its built with security in mind, has chroot environments, and its configuration is modeled after apache's. there are so many directives....excellent choice for a decent server.

mta- sendmail is ok, but i prefer exim.
pop3/imap: i prefer to use imap, as it leaves the files on the server. pop3 though is ok if you have a lot of users/email/.

for imap, i use courier.

this is really just a preference sort of thing.....different strokes for different folks and all that. Smilie
