RE: sendmail or exim?
I was surprised just how easy that was on my own LAN.
1) run /usr/sbin/eximconfig
2) select the smarthost option
You want to relay for (accept mail from) your LAN, e.g. 192.168.0.0/24
3) edit /etc/email-addresses ("username: address@thesmarthost"
This is all you need.
If you require any help with this feel free to contact me.
