The easiest way is probably to get MailServe from http://cutedgesystems.com/ 
. It's shareware and is pretty much a one step setup. You can of  
course do everything manually if you want . . . but the price is very  
reasonable and it just works.

I haven't set it up with Leopard yet; but have used it on Tiger for  
quite awhile to run the mail server at home. Bernard is very helpful  
if you run into any difficulties . . . I had some
issues originally with getting secure access from outside to work  
properly due to self signed certificate issues but he worked with me  
for several days until we got it running correctly.
