Migrating from qmail & BincIMAP to Exim and Dovecot on a Debian Sarge box

So, I've been meaning to do this for about nine months now. I have a Debian box at home which is, in fact, an old PowerMac 7300. It has fans, and makes noise. Since we moved to London the box has had to live on the bookshelf in the lounge. It takes up excessive amounts of space and is noisy, so the components for a fanless mini-itx system were bought, and constructed. But I haven't gotten around to migrating things over until now for many reasons, most of which concerned lack of spare time and the conceptual difference in handling virtual mail hosts delivering to local users.
