I have DNS servers that point my MX records to my mail server. My mail server collects and sends mail. Currently with qmail/vpopmail on a Red Hat box. I've built a new server wiht SuSE 9.3 and want to set-up a better mail server with postfix.
What do you want to implement in this better server? Spamassassin, Antivirus, blacklists, smtp auth?
Is it necessary to have a good administration frontend, because you need to change settings daily?
I'll be hosting multiple accounts on the box, so i need virtual domains for both SMTP auth and POP3 access.
No problem for any setup. The standard packages have support for LDAP compiled in, and the postfix book from Ralph Hildebrand and Patrick Koetter explaines very detailed and step-by-step how to set up such a server.

smpt auth definately. while i was waiting for some answers i had a go at setting up just the SMTP server with sasl auth - and i get two recurring errors, both from /var/log/messages. 1) postifx/smtpd[19599]: SQL engine 'mysql' no supported. i never asked for mysql support? 2) (when attempting to send mail from another node in the lan) do_auth : auth failure ... [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] however - a simple testsaslauthd -u <user> -p <pass> return success? in my smtpd.conf i specify saslauthd as the pwcheck_method - what is PAM doing?!
