Do you run IMAP/POP server? If yes, which one?

My case, alas, is not exactly as yours. I run postfix (not exim) and 
dovecot, and I use dovecot's ability to authenticate against passwd 
files (I do no authentication on port 25, and do no relay on port 25, 
but SSL encrypted port 465 relays for authenticated users).
