I do like Postfix, but configure manually even on OS X Server (it can do A
LOT more than the fine but very basic setup Server Admin creates for you).

Read up at http://www.postfix.org/

And go get a copy of the Postfix Book (available in the U.S from No Starch
Press), you can read about it here: http://www.postfix-book.com/

Either that or go with ECM, a great package that I'm going to try soon that
uses Exim: http://maxo.captainnet.net/ecm2/
