Introduction
Aim
This is a step by step howto guide to set up a mail server on a GNU / Linux system. It is easy to follow, but you end up with a powerfull secure mail server.
The server accepts unlimited domains and users, and all mail can be read via your favourite clients, or via web mail.
It is secure, traffic can encrypted and it will block virtually all spam and viruses.
