There is a major trap for you to fall into here. Since you've been
administering Exchange, you *probably* know about it, but I'll point it
out anyway.
*Don't*, whatever you do, set up sendmail so the whole world can relay
through it without authentication (e.g. passwords or encryption). You
*will* be found, spammers *will* use your server to send spam, you
*will* be blocked by various spammer lists and umpteen thousand irate
postmasters, and you *should* be kicked by your ISP.
Be careful, and test regularly.
