Particularly the bits regarding relaying? If not, then those READMEs are probably a good place to start. Will this SMTP server be accessible by everyone on the Internet? If so, you really do want to make sure you understand why it's bad to be an open relay and what the possible consequences are (e.g. being blacklisted, slapped around by your ISP, name calling, etc...). -Ash
