Or easier: make a chroot with in that a Debian install.

Then you can run all Debian stuff easily, without having to bother with
CentOS/RHEL/Fedora/etc...

Just make sure that you disable most services and/or keep these upgraded.

For a public relay you will want to do that anyway, as these hosts will
be scanned by external "friendly" people.
