Opinion on mail server setup

[Defryn, Guy]

Thanks,

I don't have any experience with mail systems what so ever. So Postfix
is not a pop3 server? What do I need to get a full working mail server
up and running? I use postfix as an MTA and I have an email program on
the client side (running on windows machines). Is there anything else
that needs to be installed on my freebsd box? 

Cheers

that.
