If you're running Debian, isn't it just a package to install using dplg 
or apt or aptitude or synaptic or whatever you're using to install 
packages?  (I use aptitude interactively to install packages)  Postfix 
is available as a package for oldstable, stable, testing, unstable, and 
experimental.  YOu'll find it conflicts with exim, which Debian installs 
by default, and so you'll probably have to uninstall exim.  I believe 
aptitude will figure that out by itself.  If you're happy with exim, 
though, you already have mail on your machine.

Unless you mean something different than I do by the words 'mail 
server'.
