I think you need to define your requirements first before anyone can
give you any examples. "Standard MX Server" will mean a bazillion
different things dependent on your point of view!
Will the server:
1. Forward all incoming mail for local domains to remote "postbox" servers?
2. Deliver all incoming mail to local mail spools for "real" system users?
3. Deliver all incoming mail into local mail spools for "virtual"
users (ie. those without shell accounts)?
4. Do anti-spam, anti-virus filtering?
Additionally, for mail delivered locally, will the users (real or
virtual) be reading via POP, IMAP, Webmail? Will the mailboxes/spools
be mbox or Maildir?
That's a small number of questions - there are many more possibilities here!
