    Easy smtp server

    Anyone know of an easy to set up smtp server or something like it? I want to set it up on my server and have notifications sent to my email address. Command line options are fine. I just need something simple though. Sendmail and postfix seem like overkill for me. I only want the ability to send mail to my GMX account. No need to receive mail. I see webmin has options for this but it wants postfix or sendmail set up in order to send notifications.

    Howdy,

    The easiest mail server is Citadel. It has a script called appropriately easyinstall, which makes installation a no brainer.

    For system emails, I just setup sSMTP, and bounce my emails off my Gmail account. Couldn't be easier if you use Gmail.
