ssmtp is a simple mail relay program. This will allow you to have system email sent to an email account of your choosing (Fail2Ban, cron, logwatch, etc) without having to run an smtp email server. It installs a binary package somewhat compatible with sendmail.

Install

Ubuntu/Debian

apt-get install ssmtp
apt-get install heirloom-mailx

heirloom-mailx provides the venerable CLI mail program, which is used by lots of programs to send mail. This is a lightweight version.

CentOS 5.4

CentOS doesn't include ssmtp

rpm -e sendmail-cf
rpm -e sendmail
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum -y install ssmtp

Configure

edit autoload_configs/switch.conf.xml

<param name="mailer-app" value="/usr/sbin/ssmtp"/>
<param name="mailer-app-args" value="-t"/>

edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
