[BBLISA] Request for Comments on Email Server Install Procedure

[alex@basespace]

I use postfix with maildrop as its delivery agent. Of course that means you
have to make sure your entire infrastructure can handle Maildirs instead of
mbox. However I find it works pretty well, you can set up a global
maildroprc that runs the mail through SpamAssassin for example.
