Very well, and for many years (:-))


You just need to start your local mail service.

Mandrake comes with Postfix as standard. The config file is easy. MCC 
likely has it all nicely scripted if you look.

Your biggest choice is whether to use 'mbox's in /var/spool, or 
'Maildir's local to each user.

My strong preference is for users to have their own Maildir.


Then you'll next be asking about courier-imap and fetchmail!

Good items for a mini howto talk???

Good luck,
Martin
