I ran postfix for a long time on RHEL and then on Mac OS X before moving my
personal & business domain to gmail. Postfix was dead-easy to configure &
keep running. IIRC, the O'Reilly book was of minimal use, and just scouring
the 'net was a better bet. YMMV.

You're on the other side of the pond, right? If not I can probably sned you
my book. It's been collecting dust for a long time.
