make sure pop3 is started
This is a very very simple and quick setup. It does not provide for authentication, or blacklisting. Nor does it filter spam.
This is just about enough to get you started, thats all. From here you are going to want to read up on sendmail or ASK;
Otherwise you may become an unwanted relay and become blacklisted or compromised.
Also, I did this from memory, so it may vary slightly and a feature may be missing or two (hopefully someone will come along and point out what is missing-TIA), but it should get you started.
