Postfix would be my SMTPd of choice here, and it's got a fair set of
options to help you lock down your server.

They've actually got a very help documentation set on their website,
including a page devoted to tackling problems just like this one.
Configuration help is included, with the added bonus of "in English"
versions of what exactly your doing by setting your config values.

http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.htm

Hope this helps.
