You will need an IP address that points to your server, you can either get a static IP from your service provider or use a dynamic IP service such as DYNDNS (dyndns.org). Then visit this site for all the info you will need on all things linux including mail servers.

Be advised that a mail server is not a toy and that many ISP's block port 25 because a badly configured server is a spammers / hackers dream.
