Bind is only for DNS. If you use your computer to manage your domain you need 
it. But if you are asking question like this, I bet you can safely turn off 
it.
I think that the easier MTA is postfix. I have been able to make it work in 
very short time and I had no previous experience. I also used qpopper as a 
POP server. Everything comes with the distribution.
