I'm also in ol Blighty which is why I'm reading email at this hour...
Sendmail is most definately not the only option. In fact I'd say it's
not an option -- buggy, insecure and impossible to configure without
many many references to the O'Reilly book. Consider Postfix or, if you
don't care about the freedom part of free software, qmail.
What it sounds like to me is that you need to use one of the
distributions designed especially for the small office environment
rather than a general purpose distro. These sort of things can also
handle your web proxying, DHCP and the like.
One such solution is e-smith for which Charlie on this list is the lead
developer having been dragged into even colder climbs in Ottawa. A
number of other sluggers have also been dragged over there to work on
this. Hope the skiing makes it worthwhile.
