Don't realy mater, their is nothing you cannot change or accommodate later.
If your host already exist, is in production environment and is
already  named administration.local, keep it like that.
Just change the smtp_helo_name in main.cf.template and thing about
what you will put in your SSL certificate to reduce inconvenient for
your local or remote users.

install kolab on a old PC, to train yourself, make some testing, take
notes, and then do it on your production server.
