Home Email Server guide?

[colskinet]

Hi

I would like to setup a server that hosts a basic website, but more importantly is responsible for the sending and receiving of my email.

I have a domain name that I own and have full control over DNS, etc. I would like to use this domain name on my mail/web server but have seen several guides, all of which seem very complex (I also have Exchange available to me but don't like the overheads/system resources that it uses in Windows 2k3).

So, to sum up, I'd like a nice easy to setup mail server that is easy to configure - i.e. add/delete users, setup forwarders, etc.

My clients would be using Outlook/Outlook Express to connect to the mail server.

Anyone have any recommendations/step by step guides?

Thanks in advance.

Colin

Try this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04

If you're using a blacklisted IP address (see http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx ), you must relay your emails through another mail server (e.g. from your ISP): http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
