I'm attempting to run a mail server on my Linux PDC.

I have a small group of users and I want to assign all of them their own mailbox.

I have a registered domain, my Apache webserver is up and running and I want to use the same domain for email (i.e. user@domainname.com)

EDIT: Try This Link (http://www.edcaugusta.com) and you should get my company webpage (look, it's temporary :p)

Where do I look for help?

All of the HOW-TO's that I've found, so far, are for setting up mail for your ISP.

If you have postfix or another mta running then simply having whoever your dns record provider is needs to make an MX record entry for your domain. Postfix usually needs some minor configuration to accept mail from somebody@domain.com but by will generally accept mail from somebody@servername.domain.com as default.

Is there an in-depth HOWTO out there for configuration of either postfix, qmail or sendmail?

It looks like I have postfix running by default...

What I need to know is how to set up the client machines to access the mail server, any configuration changes that I need to make, etc...
