personally, i recomand you to use sendmail. its better and simpler for new users.
in order to get you mail system running you will need to configure a name and domain for your system. did you do that ? are smtp and pop services installed and running ? are you able to send mail locally inside that machine between users? are you able to send mail to external addresses ? figure those first, and then move on.
