SuSE uses Postfix by default AFAIK so just start with the basic setup from here: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html

As for the domain name registration, looks like mephisto.com is taken and I doubt they would let you use their servers for relay
If you want to register your own domain name then your first stop should be your ISP - they may get you a good deal. Otherwise there are way too many companies offering domain registration for outrageous prices. Just make your pick

Ok so postfix is a mail server software right? but how do access and run it, does it even have GUI for me to play with or just plain script. I try to access it in YaST2 but there is none Postfix for me to config, or going through file:/etc/postfix only to see nothing but documents which im totally confuse because when i use Add/Remove Software it said Postfix has already installed!?
Anybody please help me.

If you insist on pretty interfaces then you can install Webmin.
Postfix is installed by default but you have to configure it to use it over the network.

Did you start the webmin server after you installed it?

You can use SquirrelMail for a front end GUI. That is what i used for mine. Works great and easy to setup.
