Free mail server with POP3 recommendation

[Francisco José Márquez Gómez]

A mail server doesn't handle spam itself, so you should think use a mail 
server and an AntiSPAM software (I recommend you spamassassin or/and dspam).

By other hand, the antispam software is only a layer in an antispam 
system. For a better acuracy, you sould consider implement greylisting, 
RBL (mandatory, using it at first level, you can discard about 90-95% of 
your spam before it reach the mailserver, at smtp level), SPF/DomainKeys 
and content filter. Many of this technics are implemented in an antispam 
software.

Respect to the mail server, I recommend you use qmail or postfix. If you 
never has used qmail, I recommend you use posftix.

qmail doesn't required mrtg as you say, but it's very usefull for use 
with qmailmrtg graphs.

You should be able found posftix packages in red hat repositories 
(official) and here (unofficial red hat packages, but linked from 
official postfix webpage): http://postfix.wl0.org/
