[techtalk] Preferred e-mail server setups?

I'm going to setup an e-mail server at home since my ISP has issues from
time to time.  I was wondering if anyone wanted to offer suggestions on a
setup.  One issue I deal with a lot is accessing e-mail from several
locations. My current idea is to setup postfix as the MTA, cyrus-deliver as
the MDA, and cyrus-imapd for accessing e-mail.  I'm going to setup Squirrel
Mail (a tip I got off of LinuxChix!) for Web access, and I'm thinking of
setting up sieve (part of the Cyrus package) as a way to filter e-mail on
the server (so I don't have to deal with setting up rules on MUAs).  I may
even be temped to write a SquirrelMail plug-in for sieve if one doesn't
already exist.

Just wondering what people think of this setup, and maybe hear a bit about
what other people have setup.

Thanks!

Jen
