Doug, Your postfix/squirrelmail setup is good, but it isn't the complete equation. What are you using for an IMAP server? Postfix is only an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent). It only handles getting mail to a users mailbox (and actually delegates the last part to whatever you're using). To get the e-mail to the user through squirrelmail you need an IMAP server.
