RH8 provides the "alternatives" system to switch between them. You can 
actually have both installed at the same time and select between them at 
will.

Postfix is silly/simple to configure. There is a somewhat dated howto 
for RH/postfix which I wrote a few years ago at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/mail_news/mail.html

The postfix docs at http://www.postfix.org/docs.html are quite good.

I also run a mailing list called mailhelp which has years of archives 
available. Archives and subscription instructions are at:

http://moongroup.com/mailman/listinfo/mailhelp

There is a FAQ for the mailhelp list here (contains a lot of postfix 
info):

procmail
