I'm creating some small FreeBSD servers that shouldn't be able to send
mail to, or receive mail from, the outside world. I was originally
just going to set sendmail_enable="NONE" in /etc/rc.conf and turn off
the mailing of output from various utilities (e.g. cron), but alas
there seem to be a few programs I may need to run that insist upon
sending mail. So, I'd like to see if I can set up local delivery of
mail without invoking the memory- and cpu-hungry program that is
sendmail. I'm therefore wondering what would happen if I just put
/usr/libexec.mail.local in as "sendmail" and "send-mail" in
mailer.conf and leaving out the rest of the entries. Does anyone on
the list have experience with doing this or something similar?
Sendmail has a lot of command line options that mail.local does not,
but they seem to be rarely invoked by programs that do things such as
mail output to a local user.

Maybe ssmtp is something you can use.
It is in ports, it does get mail out of the system.
I use it on all of my servers so i can receive the cron mails and so on.
Personaly i think sendmail should be replaced by such small mailer.
Also Dragonfly has removed Sendmail for there own small and clean mailer
called DMA.
DMA - DragonFly Mail Agent
