1) what are the requirements to get a server that authenticates SMTP requests, serves imap/pop3 mail and does everything with virtual domains.

You need at least postfix, sasl and a imap/pop server working together.

I would prefer to use mysql as the virtual domain handling, however - the default install of postfix on suse 9.3 doesn't support this correct? so...

Correct, the default only has support for ldap. Either compile it yourself or install a package that is compiled with support for mysql (Norrbring something offers those packages for Suse 9.3 at least.

so a postfix compiled with mysql + sasl compiled with mysql + courier

compiled with mysql would be all need for a basic server?

now if had that - could i then use the spamassin and mailman that comes with suse 9.3 or would i have to compile those as well?
