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.
