23 I agree about Shorewall, it's a great iptables configuration utility, and makes complex firewall set ups a breeze. Plus the online documentation is excellent. As for setting up a mail server, you might also want to check out the offerings on the gentoo wiki.

28 The second one covers more than just mail hosting, including setting up a SquirrelMail web interface with SSL throughout. Keep in mind that if it's just you using the mailserver, you can self sign the SSL certificate and save some money.
