Hi Paul,

If you're anything like me you'll conclude that setting up any full-
blown SMTP server requires extreme ninja admin chops. That's why I use 
nullmailer -- a mere mortal can set it up. It won't pass email from 
server to server, but it sure allows your computer's native mail 
command to work.

See this:

Good luck.
