I was wondering if someone could suggest a simple how to on how to send email with a gentoo server. I have static IP's from my ISP. I just want to send out mass emails from an app that I'm creating. No one will be sending back to the email address as well as I don't need to recieve email back. I have a book on postfix but it seems a little overkill on such a little email server I need. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If you want a more simple MTA, check out qmail!

I ended up using this how to and worked great. Very little setup but still used postfix
