For the particular case of "MTA" you might consider using the "ssmtp"
package.  It is simple as it is a submit-only solution w/o any daemon,
w/o spoolang and it completely relies on a "smarterhost" which could be
any SMTP daemon - even the system supplied one. The major advantages of
this solution are: it does not touch the OS (as expected by OpenPKG), it
does not break OpenPKG philosophy, it is not a workaround and last but
not least - it already exits. So, have fun.
