You might take a look at SquirrelMail.  It integrates well with cyrus

I've started liking roundcube a bit more than squirrelmail. but roundcube is very basic. SquirrelMail has a *LOT* of plugins and can be made to do almost anything these days. And the community around squirrelmail is much larger than roundcube.

Another candidate is Horde+IMP ( which Johnny maintains in the centos repos )

Sorry guys, I want to stick with a SMTP / IMAP / POP3 server, not webmail. I'll be using Horde for webmail as well though

Webmail normally just uses the underlying smtp/imap access to the underlying server anyway. If you want something that comes up running with samba, web/ftp services and email with optional web interface you might like SME server (http://www.contribs.org) which has Centos packages plus a simple web administration interface. I'm not sure if it can be set up with drbd/failover but I've always had pretty good luck running software RAID on swappable disks that can be moved to a different chassis in the event of a motherboard or power supply failure.

We do use SME 7.3 already, and they have done a great job in getting all the common network services (SQL, Apache, FTP, Samba, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, VPN, etc) working out-of-the-box, but it doesn't support fail-over / clustering, and it's very "proprietary" - a lot of things can't just be changed the way a standard Linux server can be, without affecting the upgrades.
