Postfix/Exim/Qmail -- your choice. Good documentation on all three (and
I use postfix, FWIW. Very simple to understand.

Start with postfix or exim then, these are the easiest to understand by
humans.

One line change, if you need to :) for postfix.
cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix-current
make install
Same for exim.

See http://www.hserus.net for the gory details on exim,
http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#dialup for postfix.

nicks based? Thats a MUA function (roles/identities) not MTA.
Postfix doesn't do sender based routing though.
