My company, Xperience, Inc. <http://www.pcxperience.com/> has been
building mailservers using cyrus, horde/imp, mailadmin, MailScanner,
SpamAssassin, ClamAV, MailWatch, SmartSieve, etc. for the last year.  I
did it using Debian testing, which means you don't have the nice virtual
server support in cyrus at this time (still on a 2.1.16 release of
cyrus).  I also only created sasl users - no ldap, etc..

I used the bootcd package to make a bootable version of the box when it
got done and then did a live install onto the destination machine.  The
only things you then have to do are setup that machines networking,
hostnames, sasl users, etc. which usually takes about 1 hour of
tweaking.  It tended to be faster than manually installing all the
packages as the box was already configured with out customized e-mail
web content.

We don't have a disk you can buy, but it shouldn't take you too long to
build up a server image that does what you are wanting.
