I highly recommend running Postfix.. It is a very easy to learn and has lots of advanced features such as being able to authenticate/query databases (mysql,postgres) or LDAP in addition to the normal stuff. I also recommend this book (The Book of Postfix): http://www.amazon.com/Book-Postfix-State-Art-Transport/dp/1593270011/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-8305754-1665625?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178725829&sr=8-1 Regards, Brad Davis
