We have at least two other packages in pkgsrc/mail that are much better at
that.

mini_sendmail has two useful modes of operation:

- get mail out of a chroot environment into the real MTA on the same machine
- get mail out of a machine where for some reason you don't want to spool
  locally (e.g., a flash-based router, for the diagnostic mails).

Even for diskfull client-only operation spooling locally, then sending off
to the smart relay (like pkgsrc mail/nullmailer does) gives you a better
guarantee of delivery - although half the mail user agents out there nowada=
ys
talk SMTP themselves, so their users don't care about that, and you can use
mini_sendmail anyway.
