I have used msmtp. From memory it just consists of a command line utility and a config file containing the mail server you want to use, credentials if used, etc. Worked well for me. There are quite a few tutorials on the web about using it with mutt. On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 7:06 AM, David Rosenstrauch <darose@darose.net>wrote:

Any good suggestions for a light-weight SMTP server?
All email goes off-box to my ISP for remote delivery, I don't require any local delivery. Things like exim/sendmail/postfix feels like overkill. It would even be enough if all that's available is something like an /usr/lib/sendmail executable. Is there something suitable and light-weight?

Searching the arch packages turned up a few: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=smtp
Caveats:
* haven't used any of these, so can't vouch for how good they are. (Maybe others can chime in?)
* a few of them appear to be unmaintained orphans
BTW, I'd be curious to hear back what you wind up choosing. I'm using my MTA for a similar purpose as you (smart host forwarding to an ISP) and currently using exim for it, but like you said it's way overkill for that. Would happily move to something simpler.
