You don't say what sort of load you intend to put on the machine.
Are we talking about 100 users with a maximum of 10 connecting at
a time, or 30000 with a maximum of 1k connecting at a time? If
the former then IMP will work just fine. If the latter then according
to some research by the mailgroup here the only one which is tested
with a significant load is Wing as used/written in Oxford Uni by
Malcolm Beattie (who is on the exim mailing list, I think?)

With all possible respect and credit to Malcolm and Wing, it is a
fairly complex beast to set up, and requires several machines to
use it to its full advantage.

Other than that, there a lot of homebrew systems out there, and
several on the horizon, which may well do what you want. In particular
I seem to recall that the new (not yet available?) version of Imp may
keep state in some fashion.
