Clayton,
I have some notes on mailserver setup that even I can understand. Worth a look:
This topic must have been covered about a gazillion times. Not everything in every howto, but still. I think the SUSE Linux manual/handbook has or certainly used to have a very good chapter. I'm fairly certain I set up my first mailserver with SuSE Linux 5.x, mostly based on the handbook.
Wrt a backupserver (I came across your chapter on that) - you really don't need one. All decent mailservers will keep retrying delivery for a while (postfix's default is 5 days), so even if your mailserver or your network is out for a day or two, you'll still get the emails once it is back up.

Agreed in most cases. I keep the backup in case my office server dies (mother board, etc.) and I don't have time to build another for a few days (or two weeks). In that case we just use the backup until I bring the primary on line. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
