Postfix is a fast, easy to configure, linux mail server that's available for most distributions. Redhat wrote a pretty good howto (in sources below).





The important directive for directing all non-local mail out of your internal server to your dedicated server is relayhost. The line would look like


relayhost = drs:26


(just replace drs with name or ip of your dedicated root server).
