Hi,

Now that Bind is working I want to move onto configuring a mail server.  
I was thinking of Postfix + Dovecot + Spamassassin + MySql. ( add a 
self-signed SSL cert)

Is this all I need?

I was thinking of starting by configuring Postfix then Dovecot.  Once I 
have that working I was thinking I would add MySql then Spamassassin.

I configured a mail server about 12 years ago and want to say it was 
Exim on Debian.  So I am a complete noob.

Let me see if I understand things.  If I just wanted to do SMTP and POP 
I can use just Postfix by itself.  To add IMAP to the mix I need 
Dovecot.  Spamassassin handles spam.  MySql is not necessary but can be 
used instead of flat files for virtual hosts.


Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Keith
