I followed Miles Brennan's excellent Linux Home Server How-To at

http://www.brennan.id.au/

and got sendmail running really quickly. If I remember, the sendmail
instructions seemed like they would scale to a somewhat bigger server
as well (although I still think qmail, or maybe postfix, is better for
installations of say, 50 or more users).
