Been running an install of Qmail from www.qmailrocks.org. It has more options then your average folks will need but you can pick and choose what you want to install too so it's great.

I use PostFix for SMTP and QPopper for POP3 on my Etch box. Both run very nicely. However, I am working on a Postfix-based SMTP daemon I affectionately call "WolfeMail"
