The short answer to your question is install the correct RPM packages.
The long answer requires a lot more analysis. Which mail server application are you planning on running, e.g. Exim, Postfix, other? What other features do you plan to have? For example, do you plan to have POP/IMAP, spam filtering, DKIM, RBL checks, etc? Are you using a residential internet access or do you have a dynamic IP address? Do you need or want virtual users or will they have local accounts?
These are just some of the questions you will need to address in configuring and installing a mail server, which is typically one of the most challenging tasks that one can take on with a server. One good way to get started would be to read some of the how to documents that are already available. This isn't a subject that can be easily answered in a forum thread.

probably the simplest option is:-
yum install postfix
it is I think easier to configure that sendmail but there may be others more suited to your needs.
(it would also be better to ask in the linux server forum)
A Maintenance contract is essential, not a Luxury.
Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear
