Greetings everyone, newbie to the list, hope that this is the right place to
post these questions. I've found some of the information I need in other
places, enough to get me very interested, and needing to not just know if
postfix can do this, but how :)

Anyway, I'm the admin of ufies.org, which hosts various other domains for
friends of mine. I'm currently running smail which, while it's nice and
simple, is a little too simple when you get more than one or two domains
going. I'm looking for something that will do the following for me:

 - easy config
 - Multi-domain support. Currently I'm hosting mail for about 20 hosts.
   This would probably be better defined as virtual-multi-domain
        suppport, as I only have 1 IP for the domains.
 - Standard unix mail spool format so that shell users can use pine/mutt
 - SSL support
 - "Nice" virtual domain handling. Currently mail going to fooufies.org
   goes to the same mailbox as mail going to foohostedsite.org
   This sucks, because I can't give out bobfoo.com and bobbar.com as
   separate accounts.
   
 - I've heard the term "email only account" thrown around, and read it
   mentioned on the this list while looking through the archives, but no
   mention on how to do it, and a RTFM didn't show anything (probably in there
   under a different name). This relates of course to the last point.

I'm told that postfix can do all of these for me, and I have it installed on a
test site, just no time to play with it yet.

Probably my two major concerns are the email only accounts or virtual domain
handling or whatever it's called, and SSL support. I haven't seen a
postfix-ssl package in the debian tree, but the page
http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/pfixtls/ seems to have good
stuff on that.

I hope that I've properly communicated what I'm looking at doing, and haven't
pissed anyone off :) I would love to get myself a new mail server so that I
don't have to create a user account on my server for everyone that has an
email address!

Best Regards,
Alan
