e-mail servers are driving me nuts
So now I have postfix and citadel sitting on my system conflicting each other - I have tried going through postfix instructions again and I just get dovecot errors

Feb 20 12:11:33 yup dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (mail)
Is this error due to adding citadel, if so how can I take it off without causing issues of my sites?
Anyone have any ideas? Looking at postfix's website is looking at a flight manual….in another language…

Next question, do you really need to host your own email? Outsourcing tends to be easier on the brain.
If I can get 5 e-mails I would be happy - I don't run an organisation or anything, so minimal is ok with me.
@obs:
go for google apps, last I checked they let you have 50 accounts free and I think unlimited aliases.

On mine it's 25 accounts, but I can request more. The alias do seem to be unlimited, and you can set it up to be able to send email from the aliases. After setting up some filters and labels, it's almost like having separate accounts.
Which probably means paying for the non-free version with more features. 25 must've either been an old limit or it's something in their interface for newer accounts. Not sure when you signed up for Google Apps, but my Google Apps accounts are just over 4 years old and it's been 50 accounts the entire time.
