And don't forget about extremely light sendmail drop-ins that do just one 
thing: get the mail to the next mail hub (aka 'smarthost', wherever that 
word comes from ;) ).
Example: ssmtp (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp/). Installed 
and configured on any Linux system within two minutes.

In my humble opinion: don't waste a minute on SMTP handling.
