Completely lost trying to set up a mail server


Hi Guys,

I've been trying to set up a mail server and I'm a bit lost on how to get it working. I'm running a centos server with sendmail and dovecot. All the guides I've read don't seem to help at all. All I want to do is set it up so that I can send and recieve email. That's all I want. Any recommendations on how to do this?

My current centos installation is set up and is live to the internet. I don't want to install another distro on it. I'm currently following the guide here:

I'll see how I go

Have you thought about using a free panel like virtualmin?
