Hi Sonjaya,
You ask a very open-ended question here. To get into specifics would
be too difficult in one email. But here is a rough outline to get you
started.
A rough outline of... something, certainly. Definitely something mail
related. Setting up an MX server? Not so sure.

Dovecot, but the version included in 4.5 does not include encryption
(though you could probably use stunnel to address that...).
Wait, what?
$ uname -mrsv
OpenBSD 4.5 GENERIC.MP#108 i386
$ grep imaps /etc/dovecot.conf
# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imaps pop3s
$ pkg_info | grep dovecot
dovecot-1.1.11p1-ldap compact IMAP/POP3 server
Original author wants to replace a Linux MX with an OpenBSD MX? I think
the logical approach is to - at least as a first step - look at what the
Linux MX is doing now. In all probability that involves using the same
MTA as is already in use on the Linux machine, the same antispam
software, and mostly the same configuration files.
Learning about OpenBSD's spamd would be a good idea once that's done,
but at no point does it really involve dumping everything and just doing
what someone on a mailing list said.
