Easy.

Edit the various configs for your needs.

You need to specify what is is about each piece that may be confusing.

And Postfix has its own set of message boards, email lists, and TONS of 
howtos out there.

The good news is that the folks who rolled these packages for Fedora did 
allot of the leg work for you and set each up with some defaults that 
take very little modification for a basic working system.

They obviously cannot know your domain name(s) or other details, but 
overall, with just a basic knowledge of what you want it might take an 
hour to set up and test.

If you want something other than a basic configuration then that is a 
different issue.

Some good stuff here:

I learned some things from:
http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/433

You can download the SRPM for postfix from updates and modify one line 
in the .spec file to enable MYSQL, rebuild and install the rpm.

If you have some specific questions, many here could answer better, or 
point you to the correct forum for help.

Good luck!
