				I don't know what you want to config but a simple mail server whould be:
 
 
dovecot.conf
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
 
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
 
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
 
protocols = imap pop3 imaps
 
listen = [::]
 
ssl_disable = no
 
disable_plaintext_auth = no
 
login_user = dovecot
 
mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u):%i:%h "
 
pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u
 
protocol imap {
 
}
 
 
protocol pop3 {
 
}
 
protocol lda {
 
postmaster_address = postmaster@sms.org
 
}
 
auth_verbose = yes
 
auth_debug = yes
 
auth default {
 
  mechanisms = plain
 
  userdb passwd {
 
  }
 
  passdb shadow {
 
  }
 
user = root
 
}
 
dict {
 
}
 
plugin {
 
}
 
 
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
 
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
 
 | 	  
 
main.cf (Postfix)
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
 
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
 
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
 
command_directory = /usr/sbin/
 
config_directory = /etc/postfix
 
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
 
debug_peer_level = 2
 
home_mailbox = Maildir/
 
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname $virtual_mailbox_maps
 
mail_owner = postfix
 
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
 
mailq_path = /usr/sbin/mailq
 
manpage_directory = /usr/man
 
milter_default_action = accept
 
mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain,
 
mydomain = org
 
myhostname = sms.org
 
newaliases_path = /usr/sbin/newaliases
 
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
 
relay_domains = $mydomain, $virtual_mailbox_domains
 
sample_directory = /etc/postfix/sample
 
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
 
setgid_group = postdrop
 
smtp_use_tls = no
 
smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/clamav-milter/milter.sock
 
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, defer
 
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
 
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain
 
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
 
smtpd_use_tls = no
 
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
 
virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf,ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-maillists.cf
 
 | 	  
 
 
Mail users are UNIX users and instead of mailbox (/var/spool/mail/%u) they have Maildirs ( ~/Maildir).
 
 
You can add users via Webmin or by shell with the command adduser or useradd...
 
 
Make an alias of root to a user in order to get mails with squirrelmail at /etc/mail/aliases e.g.
 
root:   someuser
 
and after type /usr/sbin/newaliases
 
 
You can upgrade squirrelmail to version 1.4.13 from here

				You have to be more specific to give you examples, for instance, what type of mail accounts...
 
 
P.S. Please use one account, and tell me which one to delete.

				Any reason why your users doesn't get the mails from your main office's server directly with their clients?
 
 
Use the above configs for dovecot and postfix...
 
Create 15 users with the command adduser
 
You can use fetchmail to get the messages from your pop3 server...
 
Go to webmin interface under servers/fetchmail and add your pop3 info for every user, e.g /home/someuser/.fetchmailrc should look something like
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  poll mail.accord-knits.mg
 
        proto pop3
 
        user "yourusername"
 
        pass "yourpassword"
 
        keep
 
 | 	  
 
Do that from webmin it's easier. 
 
You can set a cron job in the same page...
 
 
All users can manage their mails from squirrelmail...
 
To rewrite the headers use canonical_maps on postfix in case you have a different hostname.
 
 
I think that is what you want...
