I have to agree with Predrag, "postfix" is really easy to set up, and is the default on most Linux systems nowadays.
I don't personally use it, for our systems at work, but that is mostly to do with how it handles aliases. alias1: buddy, helen alias2: buddy, alias1 sending mail to "alias2" will send 2 copies to buddy, and one to helen. also "/usr/lib/sendmail -bv <alias>" doesn't show the expansion of aliases, but emails a test message to that alias. other than that postfix is very powerful, and has the ability to forward outgoing as well as incoming messages to a specific mailbox.
