You might want to try www.mdaemon.com. They make a pretty great mail
server, and have been working on a good news server as well. If you're not
adverse to running beta code (and they have pretty stong products even in
beta) you might be able to get a free copy for evaluation/testing purposes.
I know they've brought it back to the design table and are making
significant feature improvements to it, but it may have been released to
beta again.

Is for free, well, I don't think the final code will be free, but their
email server, supporting 5000 accounts, starts at only $99.00. That's about
as close to free as I can hope for!
