I've no experience, even reading about it on these various lists.  How 
hard is it to setup?

I have been tempted to add a new drive, mounted at ~/mymail, and just 
copy the while ~/Mail tree to it just so I can do a full new jessie or 
maybe even stretch install w/o losing a several gigabyte email corpus.

exim4's man page is scary, its a swiss army knife.

I have to go get a tooth pulled, I'm outta here for the day.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
