    I followed this howto to get my first email server running in redhat, and it
    should also work for fedora:

    http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/sendmail.htm

    That site has a lot of good information on setting up different linux apps.

    They also have a fedora section, but it is a pay thing, but only $5.00 per
    PDF.

    Good luck

    Rob
