If those systems already have sendmail, you can create a sendmail.cf
that acts as a "null client". The sendmail m4 configs come with an
example of this. You don't even need to run sendmail as a daemon on
those boxes as long as your mail server is always up ;-)

This is what I do on non-mail server boxes since sendmail is already
there by default.
