Regarding the MTA part it is certainly more a personal choice.

All 3 MTAs which Fedora Core 2 ships - Sendmail, Postfix, Exim - can
handle a lots of mail per hour. They are too what you might call
"robust".

For detecting spam there is SpamAssassin. Too shipped with FC. I use it
along with Sendmail, integrated by the milter interface and another
application. I like MimeDefang much, others are preferring AMaViSd-new
for instance. Those can too integrate the anti-virus checking part.
ClamAV is for free and available through fedora.us. MimeDefang can
handle a lot of other scanners as well, so I think AMaViS will.

On the IMAP/POP3 side I prefer Cyrus-IMAPd for bigger environments. The
current 2.2.x version line handles virtual domains.

With such a question you will hardly get an answer with a specific
system scheme, rated over all others. Many combinations are solid and
different setups can be a good choice.
