Exim isn't bad in my experience; my personal preference is for Postfix
though. It's super easy to use / configure, and it has a generally
helpful user community. apt-get install postfix should get everything
installed and pretty much working - you should be asked some questions
while configuring the package, and that should set things up pretty much
the way you need them.
There are links to some more documentation at:
