Yes but sendmail sucks - they are still discovering whole new classes of
security problems with it.

We had a similar question a few weeks back, so check the archive.

Me I'd use Postfix and one of the many POP3 daemons available (teapop,
popa3d, GNU pop3d).

I'd probably use Ilohamail instead of Squirrelmail - less featured but
far simpler and does a simple POP3 using filesystem (no databases or
anything) install - despite it being a bit buggy in places.

There is almost an embarassing choice of MTAs and POP3 servers, good
webmail stuff is harder to find. So start with the webmail choice, and
what other criteria are of relative importance (ease of use, security,
scalability) and select the other components based on these.
