looking for MTA with main focus on security and performance, etc

Main focus on the MTA should be

general security of the MTA
performance and stability
pop before smtp support (probably through other software, etc)
smtp authentification support
ssl support
virtual domain support

The volume is about 3000 messages / day [~ 1 GB / day].

Which MTA would be the best one in that case from your personal experience(OS is Debian 3.0) ?

Documents about the implementation of SMTP AUTH, POP-BEFORE-SMTP available ? If so, maybe some URLs ...

Postfix itself looks like a nice product, but so does Exim, so if anybody has experience with both of them please be so kind and post your comments :-)

No idea but you might want to try to post your question to the debian-user mailing list.Great place for debian info.
Forgot:Post it to the english list - on the german list they are more concerned about your line wrapping than your questions.

For those of you with interest in this topic you should take a look at Postfix or qmail. They are the result of my reasearch!

This document might be of help with your personal research!
