I purchased a unmanaged Virtual Private Server(VPS) service from a company and I need to setup the mail server on it. It is running CentOS 5. Now my question is, to send and receive mail can I just install a SMTP software such as postfix? Or do I need to also install a POP3 server software. (Disclaimer: I am far far away from being a linux expert). My VPS company needs to give them an MX record information. So I am thinking I just install SMTP on this server and give them the IP address of the server for MX record(the server is primarily a web server). Please advise.
