Email server setup - basic help; tutorial for debian/Postfix/dovecot

Hello,

I have been trying to setup a email server here at home, for me and a few friends. Nothing fancy, just a super basic - but secure - email server.

I have been having trouble over the course of the past 2-3 weeks fumbling through various online tutorials. It shouldn't be SO hard =)

Can anyone recommend a straight forward current tutorial for debian/Postfix/dovecot?

I tried googling already, and tried any decent one I could find, but maybe someone can find a nice good one - that meets my needs.

Thanks a lot!
