I would personally use exim, but I don't think it matters, if zope knows
intelligent things about it's users.  If you wanted to be a relay for a
certain set of users, you'd probably have to authenticate against
ZopeIMAP and have ZopeIMAP tell the MTA who had relay permissions.  
Anyway, that's what I do with cyrus imap.

Michel Pelltier has uploaded some very alpha python imap server code
that we could look at:

There's also several other open IMAP servers out there for illustrative
purposes.
