You will need to setup a mail server. I personally prefer qmail with vpopmail. If you are using Gentoo for your distro the following URL provides a step-by-step guide.

Even if you are not using Gentoo it might be a good place to point you in the right direction. |

I second the notion, it's exactly what I'm currently using. |

I tried that route and I settled on postfix for its simplicity.
I wanted the maildir format and postfix was the easiest to implement in my debian environment.
a tip for the weary, use a test domain to set up your email before you switch over your users or current site to the new system. |
