Thanks for the reply. Here goes for the non-technical description: For sending, I want to be able to send email through my server over an encrypted channel using Mozilla Thunderbird. A few different domains are hosted on my server for friends, and they want to use email for their domains as well. I want any person with an email account on the server to be able to send email to any email address on the internet; but I do not want anybody else to be able to send email through my server. I also want a catch-all address for my domain (doesn't seem too hard in postfix). For receiving, I want to be able to receive and store email through my server over an encrypted channel, and retrieve that email using Mozilla Thunderbird. Virtual users were my preference since the server hosts a few domains and not all of the domain owners have shell access. Some of them have no Linux experience, and others only have simple websites, so they do not need system accounts. For now, I am going back through documentation and just setting up a very simple install then building up from there.
