Although I know some people don't like it, I would suggest its worth looking 
at Qmail. You can set up quite a nice mail system using it and the add-on 
packages at http://www.inter7.net/. With the addition of vacation, ezmlm-idx, 
vqadmin, qmailadmin, and sqwebmail you will have a mail system that will 
support multiple domains, mailing lists, can be administered via a web 
browser, and allow users to access their e-mail via a web browser, and the 
users don't need shell accounts.

Some years ago I had set up a system using Qmail and the add-ons from 
Inter7.net that handled mail (and web sites) for 7 different domains off of 
one machine.
