Hello,

Here are two links that in my opinion are very good. You'll find that they both explain in detail what, why and how to install what you need. Neither of both are for RPM based distros but that shouldn't be a problem.

Creating a Linux mail server
How to setup a mail server on a GNU/Linux system

Whatever questions you might encounter, I'm sure they can be answered here at LQ.

Kind regards,

Eric

Can you brief more on your requirements?? Do you want users to send emails locally on your LAN or externally on internet as well? And what do you more expect from your server?
