Nice one, check this tutorial http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ and take your time. Ubuntu is based on Debian.
Just finished one Postfix/Dovecot/MySQL on CentOS 5.2 64, recompiled about everything.

Hi myworld first of thx for the reply, second i get to the 2nd stage of those in the terminal and then it gives me some error that i need to be logged in as root or a SU . How do i go about logging in as SU if it didnt ask me for a password during the install process of ubuntu ?

This is the error that it gives me at the Courier part
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
