So, I'm pretty new to linux. I managed to install php, mysql, and apache as well as setup my domain name and what not.
Until now I thought linux would be a breeze. I'm trying to install a mail server that will allow me to receive and send mail from "anyaccount@mydomain.com". I've tried following a few postfix guides but I get lost completely.
Are there any good guides out there for beginners? And what are the recommended software packages for both receiving and sending e-mail? Thanks!

Did you follow the Ubuntu Server Guide? The Postfix + Dovecot setup is rather simple to set up (and so is the Exim one, I presume).
Also, like Andreas Rehm I want to warn you that running a secure & safe mail server is not simple without knowing how SMTP, DNS , etc. work, and what the possible pitfalls are (this is the same on Windows or any other OS!).
