I use ncftpd. No one talks much about it, are there inherent problems with
it? I've found it to be reliable, configurable and flexible so I hope I'm
not missing something...

As for email platforms, I use a product called 'CommuniGate Pro' (
http://www.stalker.com/ ) Its closed source and can cost so serious money
as the licenses grow but it powerful and fast, providing SMTP/POP3/IMAP/Web
Mail and other features in both secure and insecure contexts.
