    I installed postfix and dovecot according to Multiserver Setup With Dedicated Web, Email, DNS & MySQL Database Servers On Debian Squeeze With ISPConfig 3...

    Code:
    apt-get -y install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d

    (mysql-client mysql-server not included in the above command since I already installed it)


    ...and aptitude complained about exim4 dependencies. I'm assuming this is OK but just want to be sure.

    Code:
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      dovecot-common libperl5.10 libpq5 ssl-cert unhide
    Suggested packages:
      binutils-doc postfix-pgsql postfix-ldap postfix-pcre sasl2-bin resolvconf
      postfix-cdb ufw tripwire openssl-blacklist
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
      exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      binutils dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d getmail4 libperl5.10
      libpq5 postfix postfix-doc postfix-mysql rkhunter ssl-cert sudo unhide

    I guess this is ok. Do you use the default /etc/apt/sources.list, or did you modify it?

    Good to know. :)

    I left the default sources.list in place.

    Code:
    # deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
    
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
    deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
    
    deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
    
    # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
    deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
