I've heard that you can do this with Sendmail >(although its way above my head) but I've also heard that procmail and qmail >are the best choices. Anybody have any experience doing this?

Well, I'd recommend that you use a tool that either you're comfortable using or not-too-uncomfortable paying someone else to use. :-} For me, I'd use sendmail. procmail might possibly be an adjunct, but it's not an SMTP server. For further informaton on the capabilities of sendmail, you might take a look at http://www.sendmail.org/. And for using procmail, Catherine Hampton has implemented something called the "Spam Bouncer"; information on it may be seen at http://www-new.hrweb.org/spambouncer/. (You may want to chat with Catherine regarding your plans in any case, but especially if you want to incorporate the use of the Spam Bouncere in your services.) As for other SMTP servers, I expect each has its merits, and further information may be obtained at the usual Web (and other) sources.
