I need to set up some kind of an email system on my new Gentoo server.
The system hosts my website under mydomain.com, and I need to be able
to send and receive email from user@mydomain.com. I'd like to use
squirrelmail and ssmtp. Do I need anything else I might not have?

I'd like to keep this as simple as possible and I'm just looking for
advice from you guys. I think I can use the mailwrapper to get ssmtp
sending system email from the website easily, but what do I need to do
to be able to send and receive email to and from squirrelmail for one
or two users?

I think postfix will be a good solution for sending/receiving. Also you'll
need imap and apache with php. Spamassassin/antivirus is course of taste. I
successfully installed and configured postfix/courier-imap/squirrelmail for
my lan and two domains using the guide at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml some googling and tweaking.

I'm hoping to be able to get away with ssmtp instead of postfix. Is
an IMAP server absolutely required in this situation? I'm not looking
for any kind of fancy functionality and I was hoping there was a
simple way to get around the IMAP server.

Squirrelmail requires an IMAP server.

Got it, thank you. In light of this new discovery, can anyone compare
the webmail client that comes with courier to squirrelmail?
