To gather first experience and basic knowledge you should start by only running a mail server (SMTP + POP3/IMAP) for your own private purposes and even starting with a non important mail account where lost mail messages are no problem. > 1.

There never was a Postfix 1.x version with any Fedora Core release. > postfix rather than sendmail and qmail ? I prefer > qmail because of its complete resources on net.
