But the same principles will apply.  Unless you are using an upstream relay, you need to have a proper fully qualified domain name and be sure not to accept incoming mail.

There are a few (google is your friend).  Things like http://www.easy-smtp.com/ might meet your requirements - free for lewss than 10000 emails per month.  Or mail chimp.  Again I am not endorsing either of these.  Just suggesting avenues to explore.

>It is easy enough to setup with either postfix or exim4 to send mail directly from the host.  BUT, the most important thing is to have your networking properly setup ie. you must have a fully qualified domain name and make sure that hostname and /etc/hosts is correct.  If you don't have this, you need to take a different approach by relaying to some other smarthost.
