Rob,
When you say you "had a play" with postfix, I assume that means you are
not a guru on it, sendmail or any other mta. May I suggest one stop
shopping for you? Go over to the Qmailrocks web site
http://www.qmailrocks.org and try that. It will lead you through
installing and configuring djbdns (dns software which is needed. You
really only need the caching nameserver part), qmail, a web based mail
administrator, squirrelmail, spamassassin and anti-virus software (all
free). The site is a step by step guide for getting up and running. To
install and configure all of the software, it took me under a day, AND,
despite what it says on the web site, I was up and running in that day.
This system will be on line as soon as I finish the migration from RH 7.3
to FC 2.
