The simplest MTA available (TTBOMK) is
http://www.qmailtoaster.com.
I use it myself, and have made a few contributions, so I'm admittedly
biased. It is only available on RPM-based distros at present (CentOS,
Fedora, RHEL, Mandriva, SuSE), but I'd like to see someone port it to Debian.
This is a full fledged MTA, and includes many features and packages that
would otherwise take weeks to learn and configure. With QmailToaster, you
can be up and running in less than a day, with minimal previous experience.
There are other qmail toasters available, but this one is tops. It's made
for noobies.
It'd be nice if someone were to create a toaster based on postfix, but I
don't know of one.
