You are probably looking for ssmtp Description: Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mailhost. No suid-binaries or other dangerous things. No mail spool to poke around in. No daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration. . WARNING: the above is all it does. It does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue. That belongs on a mailhub with a system administrator. > On a related note, does anyone have any good schemes for getting logs > off a firewall reasonably securely, so they can show up in your email?

Maybe make a script that would download the logs to some other box using scp and mail them locally then to your account's mailbox. If you're downloading mail via POP to some other box, you may do it via an ssh tunnel.
