Gradual move to own mail server - strategy for noob

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

I prefer uw-imap for IMAP and sendmail for MTA.  I have found
that since PHP imap extensions uses the uw-imap library and
many webmail interfaces use php imap extensions, that there is
less trouble with the client and server talking to each other
when they are using the same library.  (the uw-imap server
is built using the c-client library that php-extensions uses)

IMHO your better off using procmail to scan the stuff with
spamassassin and clamav, rather than using something like
amavisd to call those programs.  There's tons more procmail
support out on the Internet, it has been in use longer.  And
you can use webmin and usermin to allow users to build their
own procmail recipies.
