Before you make final install go read about CHROOT and see if its something you want to do...
In a nut shell...building mail using chroot basiclly segments mail and their directories to a secure permission locked directory structure...securing the rest of you server and applications away from many of the piss ant script kiddies exploits...its a bit more work but can save you from having to reformat and restore from a nasty root hack.
