The postfix howto is here:

https://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/RH-postfix-HOWTO/book1.html

If you go the postfix route there are a couple of caveats...

1. Don't use the postfix RPM created by Red Hat, it's not the latest and 
you want the latest version. Get it here:

http://www.ea4els.ampr.org/~sjmudd/postfix/en/

2. There may be an issue arise with procmail if you use postfix. The
version of procmail being released with Red Hat doesn't work well with
postfix because Red Hat changed the default permissions on procmail to
make it more secure. What occurs is that if you create a new user you
usually have to create that users mail spool file manually (which is
what I do). You could also change the permissions on procmail (not
recommended) or install an older procmail rpm. If you don't know what 
procmail is then read those howto's I pointed you at..., you'll know 
after you read them.
