In our installations we use nullmailer, it is a minimal send-only MTA, we don't try to convert our Koha servers in full mail servers. In Ubuntu/Debian simply do "apt-get install nullmailer", then you must edit at least 2 archives /etc/nullmailer/me (one line, your hostname, e.g. koha.example.org) /etc/nullmailer/remotes (one line for each relay host, e.g. smtp.example.org ) optionally edit /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr (e.g. biliomaster@koha.example.orgor bibliomaster@example.org) Restart the service and the Koha box could "send" emails. Another step is to configure the DNS server adding an MX record for the Koha host associated to your "real" mail server and configure sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim/whatever to accept mail addresed to the Koha box, because it can not receive mails.

Your concerns are valid. Installation is obviously not Koha-specific and I certainly didn't mean for my instructions to be adopted as canon; rather, I sought to answer the question at hand with explicit information. [...]
The question at hand was how to configure Sendmail or Postfix for Koha. Replying with how to build a qmail fork from source and not configure it for Koha doesn't seem helpful, no matter what we think of the relative merits of the three emailing systems.
