Well postfix works quite well.  It's simple to configure too and lots of
people can help you with problems since it is so common.

For accessing mail, that's not the mail transfer agents job, so pick a
good imap/pop/whatever server for that.  I do like courier-imap myself,
but there is probably better ones too.  A web mail interface would
simply be something that uses the imap server and the smtp server.

Remember part of what has made unix great is having programs that do one
thing well, and then combining them in useful ways.  An all in one email
server will likely not be particularly great at any of the tasks it is
supposed to handle (just look at exchange for example).  The courier
suite does allow some integration, although each part is capable of
being used stand alone and with other servers too (hence why I use it as
an imap server, but not as smtp).

Spam filtering seems best done through greylisting (see postgrey) and
something like bogofilter these days.  Rule based like spamassassin is
not very accurate and also very resource intensive.

As for OS, well of course I would pick Debian.  I just couldn't go back
to RPM land. :)
