I'm in the same place as Ken - ready to set up a new email server, and hedging 
between sendmail and Postfix (leaning toward Postfix.) Well, I've 
administered my own email servers on W****** for a number of years for about 
five domains and a couple dozen users, but always felt like a technician more 
than an engineer.

If you want to send me the start of your HOWTO, I can continue work on it as I 
follow along, and then post the results when I'm done...
