I found the following quite helpful:

Thomas Leistner: https://thomas-leister.de/mailserver-debian-stretch/ (Debian Stretch 2019)
Thomas Leistner: https://thomas-leister.de/mailserver-unter-ubuntu-16.04/ (older Version)
Nausch (CentOS 7): https://dokuwiki.nausch.org/doku.php/centos:mail_c7:start 
Ivan Tomica (CentOS 8): https://www.tomica.net/blog/2019/10/self-hosted-email-server (2019)

If you are a bit fluent in German,  I could send you my instructions for our local installations. I plan to contribute this as part of the Fedora Server documentation / howtos. But that will take some time.

Best
