(Apologies for the previous bottom post)
That link looks good (haven't looked in detail). I've been running an email server
for nearly 10 years and the only major thing I'd alter in the link's
recommendation is to use an OS with a long support life, CentOS or Ubuntu LTS.
A well configured email server will just sit there doing its thing for years and you want
to be troubled by as fewer OS upgrades as possible. Debian only gives you a couple if
years before you need to plan upgrading.
I've previously used CentOS for my servers but would probably go with Ubuntu LTS now
as uses more more current software (support for newer encryption ciphers etc).
