I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.

Tried that. Yes, it has the feature I need. But it has a rather complex feature set and documentation when I just need to to send my mail to an SMTP server. I ran into problems configuring it for this in the past which were difficult to diagnose due to the volume of config options and docs. That’s what led me to explore tools that had only the features I needed and no more, like msmtp or nullmailer.
