mini-sendmail does not require you to run sendmail on the local machine.
We use a variant of it here for various web applications.

The main problem with mini-sendmail is that it isn't very robust; if you
have a setup that has multiple A records for MX service and mini-sendmail
can't reach the first one, it won't try the others.  That's my one big
wishlist item for it, I think.
