The question is more what sort of setup do you want?  Are you setting up
just for one domain, for more than one, doing hosting, etc etc?  A
default postfix install with the /etc/postfix/main.cf edited to make
sure that the domain is correct will give you what you want for an email
system, but won't really do it if you're doing multiple domains, or want
a database backend, etc.   A bit more info would help.  There's all
sorts of info out there, you just need to know what you're looking for
first :)
