ok will remove just postfix. is there any special way it should be
removed, or reinstalled?

did you mean just get the basic system working without linking it with
spamassassin etc?

That's depends on what operating system you're running, and whether
you want to use a factory Postfix distribution package, or compile it
directly from source code.

http://www.postfix.org/packages.html
http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html

.... and upon how Postfix got installed onto your system in the
first place.

Yeah, the idea is build up a working configuration slowly, and not break
everything all at once, by initially including all the optional amavis,
spamassasin, etc. configs.

i've decided now to remove everything (postfix, spamassassin, amavis)
and start again from a standard factory install, and then i can install
and configure using a tutorial and go from there. Any ideas of the best
way to make sure all those 3 things are completely removed, so i can
begin a fresh start?
