adduser johndoe # root@vps
# now, relogin onto johndoe
mkdir .ssh

sudo apt-get install -y postfix
If you want to also have IMAP & SMTP server, install dovecot (although this sounds like being in the `90... think about moving email service to somewhere else (SaaS):
- http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-virtual-emails-accounts-with-postfix-and-dovecot/ (you max want to disable cmusieve in 3rd step of this guide, because I couldn't find this in debian's apt packages :/)
- TLS configuration in postfix via www.cacert.org: http://koti.kapsi.fi/ptk/postfix/postfix-tls-cacert.shtml
If you want to configure only SMTP server for your web apps:
@see https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv

git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
