May be you can look at Howto Forge. There are a number of howto's that may be applyable to your needs. Link is www.howtoforge.com. Look at Email section. There you may find howto's for Ubuntu and CentOS, at least, for the same things. For example, "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 10.04 and ISPConfig 3" at the link http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-3 is what I used for one of my clients and it is running smoothly. You should, of course, change some things, but the idea is to learn from it and apply it to your environment with the needed changes. Fernando
