any version is good, the diference is made by the MTA program you use (sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc)
just use google to see the diference between them and choose one

Well i'm a slackware , so I recomend slackware linux. This is my choice. Usualy it's quite simple to setup a mail server and its ready imedeatly after install, and all you need to do is to create your users.
Use the fallowing links:
http://linuxrefresher.com/servers/mailadm.htm
http://www.cpqlinux.com/learning-server-setup.html
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO-6.html

Read them and then made an idea about what you need.

Hope I hepled
