Some clarification would help:

   * Do youi really need an email server on this machine, or do you just need 
the capability to send and receive email?  I guess I'm not familiar enough 
with Mediawiki--does it need an email server?

In my (old) installations of TWiki, the ability to send and receive email was 
all I needed.
