Some time ago a few friends and I rented a root server, each of us maintaining one or more services on
|
|
|
|
|
it. Since I gathered some experience in the field my part is to maintain the mailserver. This way we
|
|
|
|
|
have a decentralized mail service at our hand, that is not so easily spied upon.

For running the mailservice I chose the combination of Postfix and Dovecot with SASL managed by
|
|
|
|
|
Dovecot. To configure everything I really recommend the
|
|
|
|
|
[Dovecot wiki](http://wiki2.dovecot.org/StartSeite) as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
[Postfix documentation](http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html). When installing from Debian
|
|
|
|
|
repositories you get a simple working configuration out of the box.

If you want to learn to do this by yourself, just install these services and tinker with them. Thats
|
|
|
|
|
the best approach I can recommend, though maybe not the simplest.
