This is not an uncommon Postfix setup. Ask on the Postfix mailing list or
read its documentation.

By creating identities in IMP.

Yes.

There is some Cyrus, Postfix, SpamAssassin howto on the net. Just google for
it.

Most of them not. IMP is only the "candy" on top of your mail system. Get
that running first, then come back with questions regarding IMP.

Like with any other mail client. If you want to use a news gateway, you need
to use Gmane.
