Last year I set up a email server using some compaq proliants (x2) and 
smart array disk storage.  We ended up running a modified RHSD (RH 
Server Development Project) email server  
(http://rhems.sourceforge.net/rhems.htm) .  At the time it used 
everything you want although I think they changed their webmail from 
horde/imp webmail to squirrelmail webmail.  We also need it to work 
against LDAP and that was easy as except that we ended up writting (well 
not me) some code to handle the specifics of our requirements.

We added openmosix (http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/) to the basket and 
used heartbeat 
(http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=heartbeat&section=projects) for failover

There are other bits and pieces but that is what I remember right now.

Cheers,
Simon
