Thats right, I know I have read this somewhere. Thanks for the memory jog. I'll look into dovecot. Thanks for the tip. I would still like to research both. Have to start somewhere learning it somehow. Online documentation is what I am researching now. Also, since I have the server locked up in a closet I am mainly configuring via the CLI.
A useful guide is the Linux Home Server HOWTO: http://www.brennan.id.au/
Chapter 12 (Sendmail Server) also covers dovecot.
