I don't think that's what the OP had in mind... atthis moment I'm
typing with a broken terminal... at least I can use vim...

problem is no /usr/lib/sendmail replacement that doesn't require a
daemon to watch the queue and connect to remote hosts.

in this age of regulated sites that would be really handy too. eg
at a financial site, it would be really useful to not run a smtp
daemon (even only on 127.0.0.1) to avoid the audit; but still have
a sendmail replacement which forks and tries to deliver the mail
for seven days eg one process for each message, or something more
advanced, one process for a queue in a tempdir which disappears
when each message is delivered and the process ends. (my idea,
public domain)
