I've had similar configurations running for years on CentOS 5, using
MySQL instead of PostgreSQL, and a slightly different enabled stack in
the Webmail edition.  Yes, you need to understand how mail protocols
work, and you need to be able to read and understand technical
documentation.  Without trying to sound condescending, do we really
expect non-technical users to be able run an MTA and MDA?

While getting that software stack working in the days of CentOS 5.0 
was a bit complex, including needing to have custom builds of Cyrus IMAPd
and Horde, I find that current versions deploy quite nicely on 5.10
with only minimal configuration changes, and have been quite stable.

Just waiting on CentOS 7 to start updating those systems ...
