Installing qmail, and configuring it to smarthost mail through your primary
mail relay, is going to accomplish exactly the same thing as adding ESMTP
client code, except that the whole thing will continue to work when the
primary mail relay goes down for maintenance.
Otherwise, when your mail relay goes down, people will start screaming at
you because they can't send any mail. Is _that_ a good idea?
