If you do decide to use SMTP AUTH ( userid/password authentication ) (
and it not a 
cheezy windows thing.... it's the right thing to do ) you can use
something like postfix 
( sendmail and qmail probably also support it ) that lets you specify a
userid/password
to use with SMTP connections if they are needed.

    I have a small server that connects my home [office] network to my
    DSL.  The server provides a firewall, Apache, squid, & squidGuard, and
    gives everyone access to a large HD via Samba.  None of the services
    are accessible from outside of the firewall.  I do not host my own
    email; all of my email accounts use smtp and pop3 servers that are
    outside of my network.
    
    I would like to configure the server so that system-generated email
    uses the smtp of an external email account, instead of holding it,
    waiting for me to remember to check my "server mail". Would that
    be difficult to set up? Could someone give me a couple of sentences
    of what needs to be done?
    
    Thanks in advance!
