For 20 users, just using mail forwarding (or pickup via imap or pop) with vpostmaster is probably the easiest to setup because you don't have to mess with postfix, sendmail or spamassassin at the configuration file level. If you want to build your own mail configuration, you could use either postfix or sendmail and it should be possible to install various spam filtering packages and then configure it to forward all mail for the domain to another server. This would save you having to create individual accounts on the mail relay, but is a whole lot more work to setup than using vpostmaster, especially if you only have 20 users. It also requires much more understanding of the MTA (postfix or sendmail) as well as the spam control software that you run. vpostmaster also includes greylisting and SPF. After installing CentOS you could probably have it up and running in 1/2 hour or less. Installing individual components, depending on your level of experience, you could easily spend several days or a week or more getting all the components running smoothly together. I successfully used sendmail for years and at this time, I prefer postfix and find it much easier to configure and setup securely. nataraj
