I need to find a basic SMTP server, one that will allow the server to

Probably best asked on the gentoo-server mailing list to be honest. Most
people use either sendmail/qmail, but those are probably not as 'trim' as
you'd want.
You'd actually be better off reading the forums as it's been discussed a
few hundred times in the past year.
I suggest postfix and here's the config you should add to the end of
/etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = myhost.domain.com
mydomain = domain.com
myorigin = $myhostname # or maybe $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mynetworks_style = subnet
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.10.10.0/24
edit /etc/main/aliases
run newaliases
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
rc-update add postfix default
You're done.
