Is your computer supposed to serve DNS to other computers?
In most universities, there will be a Computer Services department
to look after those computers. (The name is different at different
institutions).
I'm guessing that you just want a personal computer. In which case,
I'd get the IP addresses of the appropriate DNS servers from the
Computer Services department, run system-network-config, and
plug the details in there.
For a dial-up computer, you'd get those details from your ISP.

Which e-mail program are you using? Often that will specify the "From:"
account.
Otherwise, look at the myhostname and mydomain lines in
/etc/postfix/main.cf.
HTH,
