Perhaps if you don't even know which config files you need to edit (to the OP) or their location on your box, you might not be ready to run an internet facing mailserver? I'm not an anti-spam freak to the degree all of the spamassasin and mimedefang folks are, and I'm certainly all for learning by doing, but the level of knowledge you need to run a server w/o a) having it compromised, and b) having it be an open relay is not trivial. You might want to dig into the docs a little more before jumping in with both feet. Not meant to be a flame at all, but w/o at least a little basic knowledge, you'll likely be shutdown immediately by every RBL on earth.
