Interesting.  I also mam a non-mailgeek, but got Postfix working as
a Smarhost within an hour.  "dpkg-reconfigure postfix" plus a little
Googling and it worked.  (Note, though, that my ISP's smtp server is
unauthenticated.)

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
