We could do the learning process together ?!?

I'm in the process of migrating from my present email server to a more
fully developed solution.

At present, I'm using Stalker Internet Mail Server V.1.8b8 on an old
MacBook Pro 520c from 1995 !

The MacBook has seen better days, but it's still running 24/7/365 and
has been heavily upgraded: 18 GB HardDisk, 54 MB RAM , 192 MHz PPC 603e

YES !!! those were days !!! :-D

I'm presently using postfix on my computers for outgoing email.

The postfix homepage has a lot of information regarding setting all the
stuff up as well as an extensive collection of links to further
instructions.

But what are your ambitions ???
Mine are rather extensive, as I need to set up several virtual domains,
so it's my intension to use postfix with either mysql5 or postgresql90.
