Which is essentially the same as using ssmtp  / esmtp / nullmailer 
(non-queuing sendmail replacements). 

The mentioned prorams actually give you the same command-line interface
as sendmail, and hence require less (if at all) change  of
voicemail.conf.

And this is a reminder: they don't queue mail. Hence if they fail to
deliver once, the mail is lost. May not be the best idea for sending
mail over the internet.
