Setting up a mail server

[Slade Hornick]

No scanning needed, another server has already done that.  I would like some
suggestions on which programs to use and then a starting point to get me
going.  Like I said, I've tried several things, but nothing is working - so
I'm back to the starting point and just need some pointers.

Ex:
Use Postfix to receive mail
Use Courier-imap to view mail from OE on a windows machine

If this above is a good configuration, then where can I go to get detailed
installation instructions on how to set those program up?

Thanks
Slade

What hardware are you using? 15K messages shouldn't be *that* high a load.

Which dead-end? What is your problem? Do you simply need to receive these 
emails, or do you also desire to scan and process them for spam and virii?

You're going to need to provide more information and detail, and we'll 
surely be able to help you.
