What program do you use for sending mail to a remote SMTP server?

sendmail is called as
$SENDMAIL -f$FROMADDR -oi $TOADDR
$SENDMAIL -f$FROMADDR -oi $SENDTO
$SENDMAIL -f$FROMADDR -oi -t
$SENDMAIL -ffax -oi $TOADDR
$SENDMAIL -ffax -oi $MAILADDR
in faxrcvd, notify, pollrcvd and wedged scripts.

You could write a shell script which accepts these options and reads  
the mail message fron stdin and uses your favourite command line  
program for sending mail to your remote SMTP server. This shell script  
can be specified as variable SENDMAIL in setup.cache.

Maybe you can configure your MTA to accept incoming mails from  
localhost only or even from a specified user only and to forward  
everything to your external SMTP server.
