that, if the port is blocked you will not be able to get incoming mail.
It's quite painless to setup a MTA, sendmail at least by default only listens
to 127.0.0.1, but you comment out one line in the config and it will listen on
your external ip.
If you won't access your mail from the outside, pop3 is quite pointless.
Is there a good IMAP server for linux?
Sure there is, but still, will you be serving people outside your home network
with mail accounts? It's far simpler to let your mail client to read from the
mailbox directly.
You will most likely have MTA, pop3 and imap programs on your install CD.
