If you are familiar with postfix anyway, you could just as well
install a postfix with minimal configuration on your working
machine. Typically, this /etc/postfix/main.cf should be sufficient:
myhostname = slave.host.name
myorigin = what.ever.applies
mydestination =
relayhost = your.relay.host
default_transport=smtp
That's all. It may quite well be more difficult to properly
configure some "minimalistic" mailer.
