An email server is not simple. You have to know what you do and take responsibility for it. Take your time to learn your job. The software is simple enough.
Postfix. That's the smtp server. Or exim. Or sendmail if you feel adventurous :-p Then you need, perhaps, a pop/imap server, depending on how many users you have; perhaps cyrus, courier, qpopper, dovecot...
Else, hire up a professional service.
I agree, setting up a responsible email server is not so easy. Doing a email server without regards for others - example: your server being used to relay spam etc - requires some more effort. However, I understand that there are (small) distributions available to setup your own server. Just shop around on the Internet, but don't start using a generic distribution with all kinds of configuration issues.

that's the reason for asking the list :-) I don't need one for an isp ! small but good

Hans, What they're trying to say is that if you run a mail server that is connected to the internet - you can easily become something of "an isp" without knowing it. The distro ships with Postfix. It's not terribly difficult to set up, and since it's "native" the install is a no brainer. Seems like the shortest distance between two points to me. You can try qmail if you like, its small, - but not a "lightweight" by any means. (The install can be tough too) Oh yeah, and if you ask a question on the qmail mailing list you better do your homework - those guys aren't nearly as polite as the folks here! good luck!
