Just wanted to ask what setup you use or recommend for large scale sites (~10k users, some hundreds of imap(s), smtp, webmail connections, about 5-10 mails incoming and outgoing per second):

• what smtpd? why?

postfix, exim or qmail -- in that order of preference. I would very much advise against anything else, even for small or medium mailservers (and for goddess sake, don't use any mickey-mouse solution, unless you like the pain, like of being repeatedly kicked into the crotch).

And I'd use Debian "Etch", which is right now in testing, but will soon be stable. But there's loads of software available which which is lacking or outdated in Debian "Sarge".
