This guide will explain how to set up a full blown mail server for virtual mail hosting. This setup should work on every distribution, you'll just need to tweak paths and files accordingly. I've personally done it on Gentoo, openSUSE, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu.
The described setup is the result of numerous virtual mail server installs and a lot of trial and error with a lot of different applications. It is therefore not the only way to achieve this kind of design, but through my experience, this is likely both one of the easiest and best possible ways of implementing this design.
This howto / guide / documentation project also assumes a few things. It assumes that you are not new to Linux and have a fairly basic understanding of permissions and how to troubleshoot problems, because you will run into problems doing this. It also assumes you know how to use an internet search engine and the 'man' command.
