Adding outgoing smtp should not be too big of a deal on any os, but you also have to account for the outgoing address and whether every user will have a different one (and whether users will assign their yahoo, gmail, etc. account to be the sender). The most complex would be to receive response emails and routing them, and that would be OS specific.
