[vps-mail] Separate Mail Server

[Jonathan Duncan <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been thinking more and more about setting up on VPS2 that is 
dedicated to doing just mail (POP, Webmail, mailing lists).  I seem to 
remember Abigail saying that she has done this and I imagine others have 
also.  So I have some questions, if you don't mind.

1) Did you need to (or feel the need to) disable any services on the 
dedicated mail server? (like webserver)
2) Did you need to (or feel the need to) disable any services on the web 
site servers? (like incoming mail server)

I have thought about disabling services, but on a web site server I know 
that scripts will still need to be able to send mail out and on mail 
servers people will still want to access mail through the web.

3) Is there anything special I should consider doing on either a web site 
server and or mail only server that might help optimize performance for 
each?

Thanks,
