[plug] good mail server?

[Peter Tran]

Craig,

I rather like sendmail, some people find it hard to pickup but its 
definately worth it. It might help having webmin installed to help you 
do some of the common tasks quickly, then you can have a play with its
more advanced features.

Regards

Peter.
