First of all, this is probably more appropriate to post on serverfault.com, not this site. But to get you a head start, the term you want to search for is "Mail Transfer Agent" (MTA). Common ones on linux are postfix, sendmail, qmail, and others.
How you install it is going to be very distribution dependant, but since all you need is a relay server (send mail, no incoming mail) it is likely your distribution as a ready-made package that only needs minimal configuration.
Put a post on serverfault listing your linux distribution and I bet someone can get you started
