Nullmailer could be useful to you..

hugh at amy:~$ apt-cache show nullmailer
Package: nullmailer
Priority: extra
Section: universe/mail
Provides: mail-transport-agent
Description: simple relay-only mail transport agent
 Nullmailer is a replacement MTA for hosts, which relay to a fixed set of
 smart relays. It is designed to be simple to configure and especially
 useful on slave machines and in chroots.
 .
 The sendmail interface of this package doesn't provide the -bs switch,
 hence it's not LSB compatible!

(Some info snipped).
