I don't want all of it though. You shouldn't be running a web server on your email server for instance.

Web server is installed for the web control panel, which can be disabled afterwards.

I do like step by step guides as they provide a higher level of control, but after you've performed a setup like that 2-3 times, you start to lean towards more automated installs as iredmail or custom written scripts. So why maintain your own scripts when you can start with a ready made package.

You can do the same with Symbiosis, which is just a bunch of Debian packages on top of lenny (and soon squeeze):
