Set up a "sendmail". Or basically: an MTA. Any linux distro comes with
at least one (postfix seems to be the preffered choice nowadays). Which
one do you use?

There are a bunch of programs that provide /usr/sbin/sendmail but don't
spool the result. Check msmtp, ssmtp, masqmail and nullmailer. There are
probably others.

The downside is that messages that have, for some reason, not been
delivered in the first shot (e.g: due to some transient network error)
will be dropped rather than queued.
