RE: Mail Server
Depending on your needs, albiet scalability, security, performance,
ease-of-use etc. I find qmail to be the best solution for a
dependable and secure mail server.
qmail installs as a closed-relay by default, and if you follow
the "Life with qmail" document, you'll have a mail system that
you can depend on and won't have to worry about being "relayed".
I've built many, many systems using qmail for my clients
and customers, all of them are quite happy and have *zero* issues
with relaying (or anything else for that matter).
Some of these companies are using these mail systems with thousands
of mail users, some are small SOHO businesses with only a handful.
In both cases the customer has been quite happy with their mail
system.

Use Exim, it's the easiest for a new admin to use (and a joy for old
hats). In /etc/exim/exim.conf, you should have something along the
lines of the below...
# The setting below allows your host to be used as a mail relay by only

host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16

Look back in the last few days archives for how to set exim up for
ASMTP. There's several methods.

Yes. Check the archive, search for exim and ASMTP.
