Add Mail User Accounts to use Mail Service.
This example is for the case you use OS user accounts.
Configure basic Postfix settings, and basic Dovecot settings first.
[1] To use OS user accounts, that's only adding OS user like follows.
# install mail client

[root@mail ~]#
yum -y install mailx
# set environment variables to use Maildir

[root@mail ~]#
echo 'export MAIL=$HOME/Maildir' >> /etc/profile
# add a user [cent]

[root@mail ~]#
useradd cent

[root@mail ~]#
passwd cent

[2] Login as a user added in [1] and try to send an email.
