What are the requirements for how the users are managed?

There are control panel solutions such as cpanel that will let you manage a sendmail based system, maybe postfix too.

There are open source packages such as vpopmail that work well with qmail, an alternative to sendmail.

There isn't more networking infrastructure needed to support 1000 users.

What information in the system are you trying to protect?

Passwords? Encrypting the actual emails? Are SSL enabled services required?

It's strange to me that abuse protections are not mentioned in the requirements.
