Finding out which MTA you have is a prerequisite for any of the others. Also do you want virtual users which only exist as a forward / alias in the mailer's configuration, or should the users be created as local proper Unix accounts?

Does telnet localhost 25 show anything promising? (Type quit and hit enter to make it close the connection)

Does your rpm database contain anything about sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, or some other MTA?

Do you have log files called something like mail.log, sendmail.log, postfix.log, qmail.log, or exim.log?
