Pretty standard setup.

Personally I am using Postfix for SMTP/Submission and Dovecot for IMAP
- - both with STARTTLS. I use a couple of MX's to actually do the initial
recieving of email, so everything auth related (and adress related) is
in a multi-master LDAP server on each machine. Using Dovetcot-SASL for
SMTP auth too.

I my experience pretty much any client works with this setup.
