At the risk of boring those who already know, but a useful proogy to
keep in mind is SMTPD from http://www.obtuse.com/.
It is a proxy that sits in front of any mailer and allows you to apply
your own/other filtering. If you can write a script easier than config a
mailer, worth keeping in mind. If needed, a quick fix from one hours
effort.
