It's likely you are looking for a good tutorial that will teach you step by step how to install postfix with virtual users and smtp auth in order to avoid unauthorized SMTP relays.
Well I have installed postfix on a fedora core 5 box using a manual posted at howtoforge.com.
This tutorial will take you step by step, certain thing might fail (postfix compilation failed on my server so I downloaded the rpm provided by the tutorial) but yet, it will tell you what to do in that case.
In case that you don;t find a solution to a problem in the manual you can go to forums and post your problem and in less than a day you get a response from howtoforge.
The tutorial links is this. enjoy it:

Plesk control pannel limitations
When you purchase a hosting plan with a control panel you expect it to make your life easier.
Well it has not been my case, I got a server hosting with plesk control panel. First, plesk works with qmail, which is a little hard to configure. If you try to install other applications besides the ones that work with plesk, it might get corrupted as it happened to me.
I installed postfix with dovecot, but I had to remove courier-imap, after removing courier-imap, plesk stoped working.
So if you plan getting a server with a control panel I recommend you to search the web for limitations, and some other features your control panel might have.
Maybe swsoft improves plesk in the short future. It would be good to have a control panel that would allow you to configure (postfix, sendmail, qmail, etc) in such a way that with a few clicks you can multiple virtual domains running on a machine configure with plesk.
