set up exim4; apt-get install exim4 tell it you have a smarthost, set the smarthost to your upstream isp mail server. Most boxes drop mail from ip addresses that are considered residential/adsl/cable/dialup so best to relay through a smarthost. There are also paid services for this if you can't get your isp's mail server to accept your mail. dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config will re-ask you _all_ the questions rather than the usual ones you get when your priority is set to high. dpkg-reconfigure debconf will allow you to change interface to readline, (easier to use in my opinion) and set priority to medium.
