oh, whatever - there's *extensive* documentation, which largely  
insulates users from having to actually deal with djb at all.

for a turnkey mail server solution i would recommend the Qmail Toaster:

http://www.qmailtoaster.com/

it's a RPM-based solution that provides not only SMTP service but  
also IMAP, POP, webmail, virtual domains, web-based configuration,  
autoresponders, spam and virus filtering... and it's designed to be  
compatible with CentOS 3 and 4 (among other distros).  good stuff.

p.s. but again, this sounds like overkill for what the OP apparently  
wants to do.
