I will second Andrew's advice regrading SendEmail :
for me, SendEmail and esmtp were very easy to install, compared to default
exim4, which required a better understanding of emailing.

Though, I must also say I couldn't (in a short time frame) figure out how to
send emails using SendEmail and 1and1's AUTH LOGIN process.
(so I used another ISP which let me use AUTH PLAIN logins).

Cheers
