There's a small program called ssmtp:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp

that basically acts as a sendmail-compatible program that sends mail
it is given by connecting to an external SMTP server. It is about as
bare bones as an MTA as you can get, and I'm surprised that it doesn't
see wider use than Debian and Gentoo (in particular it doesn't seem to
be present by default in Red Hat or Fedora).
