Generating more interest in the concept of running your own mail server is a great thing. The four part Ars Technica series on the topic [1] is the best and most comprehensive guide to setting up a mail server.
I think a more hands on approach is going to serve the amateur mail server admin better. I know I feel more confident about running my own mail server since I configured many of the components manually -- this puts me on much better footing to troubleshoot when something inevitably goes wrong.
The "five steps" in the link do not include spam or AV protection either, and trivializes the process of installing and configuring them.
