I've used postfix for exactly this. If all you need is an MTA, that's
what I'd use. If you want to download mail as well, I'd use dovecot and
perhaps even have them work out of LDAP or a MySQL database. There are
nice tutorials online complete with configuration files for setting up
such system or small parts of them. I'm happy to help you find them if
you have trouble find them.

Regards,
Mako
