If anyone is interested I wrote down a tutorial on how to get this setup
working:

I finally got postfix working, but it's still a bit intermittent. I get
the following errors once in a while in /var/log/mail.log:
 
"status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with
127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while receiving the initial server greeting"

It might be something to do with DNS, but I'm not sure why exactly. My
server is not running named.

$ host localhost
Host localhost not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

$ host 127.0.0.1
Host 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Hi Jonathan, 

Are you sending your emails via postfix or are you sending directly to
yahoo trough an email client? 

I've been pulling me hair the past two days trying to get this working.
I was able to get fetchmail downloading my email and postfix sending
local emails. I wanted to send my messages via my server so I can keep a
copy of the sent messages, but it looks like postfix does not support
port 465 (it does, but it needs extra config which seems to be a bit out
of my league.)

I'm really "ignorant" when it comes to setting up email servers... :-/

I'm not using offlineimap but I imagine it would work fine.
