So, I'm pretty new to linux. I managed to install php, mysql, and apache as well as setup my domain name and what not. Until now I thought linux would be a breeze. I'm trying to install a mail server that will allow me to receive and send mail from "anyaccount@mydomain.com". I've tried following a few postfix guides but I get lost completely. Are there any good guides out there for beginners? And what are the recommended software packages for both receiving and sending e-mail? Thanks! | |||||

Did you follow the Ubuntu Server Guide? The Postfix + Dovecot setup is rather simple to set up (and so is the Exim one, I presume). Also, like Andreas Rehm I want to warn you that running a secure & safe mail server is not simple without knowing how SMTP, DNS , etc. work, and what the possible pitfalls are (this is the same on Windows or any other OS!). | |||

I would recommend reading some articles on howtoforge. They are easy to read and understand for beginners. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts But you should start reading about security - it's not the easiest thing to have a secure server running... You need to understand what threats you need to take care of. | |||
