Not at all. All modern MTAs can be configured, quite easily, in a 'dumb client' mode where they accept mail only from the local host -- they don't even open a network socket -- and forward all that mail to a designated 'smart hub'. (Terminology varies.) There are even programs, such as sSMTP and nullmailer, which have *only* this functionality. zw
