Not sure: you're most interested in such notifications when something has failed. This state can preclude running an external submission program on the local system, or having it queue-dequeue your message. But generally (e.g. to forward user mails or logs/events summaries posted from app servers and other systems especially in highly volatile development setups where connectivity and remote services are not 100% granted) it is often convenient to have dumb programs post to localhost:25 and a real MTA/MSA repost that - often to a common org mail relay that is properly known in worldwide DNS and has secure setup to pass offsite recipients' antispams.
