Setup new Linux install to send outgoing email only


I have a new install of Unbuntu Server, no GUI. I would like this webserver to be able to send mail to external addresses but not receive mail (will just send notifications when posts are made).

I would like to configure the minimum needed to send mail. Is there anything that I really need to configure, or should it just work with a default install of the smtp package? Don't want to over configure....thanks!

I think you will need to configure it.
