Re: [CentOS] nullmailer recommendations

Just wondering what people tend to use for nullmailers on their centos boxes (i.e. a minimal outgoing-only MTA)? I guess the obvious solution is a minimal postfix config, but that seems reasonably heavyweight and easy to misconfigure - is there anything lighter floating around the centos universe?

I've always been a fan of msmtp:

http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/

It's simple, easy and effective - installs with minimal fuss and provides a nice clean outgoing-only MTA. You can grab a SRPM from here:

...and simply rpm --rebuild it on any CentOS box to get the flavor you need. I've really only used it on Fedora, but CentOS isn't that far off...
