I'm not so much interested in using an email client for composing,
sending, and receiving email as I am in having a standardized MTA that programs
such as Tripwire, Logwatch, Nagios, and Hobbit can use for alerts and
exceptional conditions. What I would like is for them to send their messages
to my corporate mailbox and then I could set up some rules for squirreling them
away into their own folder.
I want them to be standardized so that I can easily document for the
benefit of my teammates what steps to go through when setting up a new Linux
guest.

Why not use your Exchange server as the MTA? Configure the Linux email
client to connect to port 25 on the Exchange server's IP address (or
hostname, if you are set up to do that).

I use XMITIP from z/OS, also. Lionel Dyck did some good work on that.

We do emails from batch jobs on z/OS. We have a free software called
XMITIP which knows the protocol and it just connects to port 25 on our
MS Exchange box. I don't see any reason why this would not work with
your Linux MTA.
