Setting up a mailserver
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to set up a mailserver on a LEB with the following requirements:
SMTP,
POP3,
Ability to be able to add additional domains and users (but not system users),
Secure,
For ubuntu 10.04
I've gone through a couple tutorials and I think Postfix+Dovecot is the correct route, but it seems to want system users before it will create additional mailboxes.
I had a look at this tutorial, but I don't see how I would add the extra domains/users:

Thanks!

Here's something interesting:

Thanks @LongShot, I'll have a look at that
here is a very good tutorial without system users.
edit: it's for debian, but I guess it's not much different.
Thank you @circus, that worked perfectly
So why not exim?
To be honest, I couldn't find a decent tutorial to set up exim how I could with postfix. Do you know of one perhaps?
Do you recommend exim?
apt-get install exim4? Worked for me.
Without a proper configuration, all email will come to spam box or reject
As all email send from my box reject by AOL and few providers, mark as spam by Gmail 
(6 months use this VPS, it only sends a few emails.)
touché
and then after that? huh? huh?
