Mail server

ady · 2006-09-18 07:20:17

I haven't worked with mail servers before so i was wondering how do i setup a smpt mail server to send external mails. I want to use it in a php website(send users notifications and stuff like that). Now i want this server to run independently. All i managed to find out so far is how to set it up to send the mail to another smpt server. I want my own server to do all the work, no external servers(relaying), all has to run from my server.
Anyone knows any servers that do this, link, tutorials?

ady, there are some step by step guides on the wiki, and most things you find via google should be reasonably appliccable.
