Well, I'm not using any yet. Call me a wimp, but I thought I'd ask for 
advice before I jumped in. :-P  ;-)

I didn't want to set up sendmail or exim and then find out there is a 
simple app that can do this without the overhead.

But I'm getting the impression that it's probably just a matter of 
setting up one of the above and disabling send.  :-)
