Hope I'm not too far out of line here, but I gotta say it. If this is your 
first mail server, you might find that postfix is easier to setup and 
understand. Virtual tables make a lot more sense and you can edit the 
config file (main.cf) directly rather than running it through m4.

What you are trying to do can be done in postfix in about a minute, by 
creating one file, adding a line or two to the main.cf file and running 
postfix reload. (As long as you dns is set up correctly, that is.)
