Why not just install Citadel?  It does all of that stuff out-of-the-box, and it's pre-integrated for you so you don't have to go through all of those steps to put it together.

I've just installed Citadel 1.5 however though it's a very good solution it's just not as good as postfix and clamav and spamassassin. Truth is people shouldn't be lazy instead they should design a system they want.

Installing iRedMail was a breeze compared to the last mail server I built using the QmailRocks guide. My only complaint with the guide is with the footnote regarding "Important things to know after installation". It should be more clear about the line "User password and related sensitive information". My first run through I wanted to try out LDAP but I was unable to log in to the php LDAP admin. I tried to figure it out but, being pressed for time, I ended up reinstalling using the MySQL back end that I am more familiar with so I could move forward with my task.

Overall I'm impressed though. iRedMail gets an A+ from me. Though I do suggest you upgrade to the latest release of RoundCube after installation. Just a minor tweak is needed to get it working fully. http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic310-upgrade-to-roundcube-03-in-iredos-050.html

Package mysql-server-5.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-server-5.1 mysql-cluster-server-5.1
E: Package mysql-server-5.0 has no installation candidate
< ERROR > Installation failed, please check the terminal output.

This was a complete failure for me, installation went great, yet i cant send mail neither recieve, postfix rejects everything and when i try to send with roundcup and can't send either aparently because postfix is rejecting unknown recipients maybe is something with local_recipient_maps parameter in postfix conf but i have no idea...
