Mail in a box works great... replaced my old sendmail setup - using an external DNS is a bit funky, but a great package.. support multiple domains easily, pop3/imap and web client. Recommend.

It prefers to use its own DNS server because email DNS is tough. However, it provides the information to do it. While it probably took me a couple of hours to figure it out, I now have a DNS template at my registrar that makes it nearly automatic. That said, where I don't need the performance of a hosted DNS system, I let mailinabox take care of it.
