Yes, I agree that postfix and dovecot are the best combo.

I thought the postfix book was useful, personally.

There is no Dovecot book that I can find, but Dovecot was really simple
to operate using only the directions on the dovecot and postfix web
sites.

BTW, if possible use dovecot SASL instead of the other SASLs.  Even if
this means having to rebuilt postfix and dovecot from sources.

Also, if you need to add webmail at some point, use roundcube instead of
squirrelmail.
