localhost

i have mac osx 10.6.3 (snow leopard)

i have already setup mamp so it acts like a local server. but the next thing i wanna try doing is making it into a mail server where i can register an email locally maybe something like myname@myip or however its done.

then having the ability to setup mx records, cname, and all that dns good stuff. this will only be for education purposes so that i can fully understand how it all works.

what do i need to do? i read something about MailServeSnow but i cant get its domain to work , it must be down. would this be the best option?

also would i need mac server or my os would be just fine?

thanks
