Config file?  Who needs a config file?  Smail doesn't!  ;-)

(well, for routing to a smarthost Smail would need a -D's in CFLAGS to
set the smart host's name and disable the various router definitions, as
otherwise it does need a one-line config file and a very short one-line
routers file :-)

It's pretty easy to turn off all support for in-bound SMTP handling and
DNS processing in Smail too (which reduces its size considerably).

Both Exim and Smail, like sendmail too, do need a cron job to keep an
eye on the mail queue as otherwise messages could end up there and never
go anywhere.

Of course both Exim and Smail are using a GPL copyright license....
