My favorite email server is Postfix. Maybe it will do what you want? I didn't really understand your requirements, so I'm not sure.

Suse has sendmail, postfix and exim. You can install any of these using YAST.

thanks guys for your reply! yeah i got it now in suse, but will there be conflicts or something? cause in yast i do have procmail, and postfix currently installed do i need to select imap as well (it says this package contains imap4, pop2 and pop3 mail servers. after installation you have to activate the servers in the file /etc/inetd.conf) and how do i add my users? im still searching for installation guides ... (",) thanks so much sirs!

If you want the best e-mail server, with out the bugs and hassles, i recomend qmail. Here is a great C&P site:

Sendmail, Exim and Postfix are really Mail Transport Agents so they can play along nicely with other mail tools such as imap and pop3.
