Yes exactly. The maildir format is very easy (which should be a basic
prinipal in the security area). I would use the /usr/bin/sendmail emulation
from ssmtp or from qmail to drop the files into a maildir and use serialmail
tosend them. This is a simple queing system for local generated mails.
Adding smtpd/smtpfwdd from optuse will add a method of accepting remote
mails. (Unfortunatelly I am not sure if this sendmail-emulation will be
enough to handle all broken mail headers (for deliver). Perhaps its better
to use a full qmail, as u have suggested.
Oh, btw: Optuse smtpfwdd is watching the exit state of the sendmail-program.
So running ssmtp will be just fine from the optuse smtpd queue, cause it
will retry (if smmtp is reporting failures via sendmail compatible exit
codes).
