Confirming "mail server" will keep you busy - especially the initial configuration (there will be a lot of "WTF, now what'd I do!?" moments, if you're like me). But yeah, postfix + dovecot (or other sasl agent) is pretty 'secure' in terms of not getting blindly turned into a mail relay. Throw spamassassin, greylists, and sieve scripts (server-side routing rules) on top of the basic configuration and you'll end up with a really nice MTA. I like mine better than gmail. If you've got a need to reach it from "anywhere", and don't necessarily always have a laptop, then adding a web MUA (such as horde) is another project. In either event, I strongly recommend that you purchase a certificate for mail.yourdomain.com, and use it. It's overall easier (or at least in my experience, switching from the self-signed to the CA-signed cert made things easier). Since it's remote, maybe a reverse ssh setup so you can get "home"? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
