I've had some doings with the SME server project in the past, and it's
an excellent distribution. If you don't mind the RedHat (in this case
CentOS) underpinnings (and qmail as the MTA instead of sendmail or
postfix), then SME is a good choice. As an Ubuntu-based alternative, try
Zentyal (used to be called eBox) over here:

I'm confident that both these distros will do it for you, and then some!
