It's debatable whether either of those scenarios fall within the
definition of "simple". If something that simple won't do what you want,
and there are several to try: ssmtp, esmtp, nullmailer etc, then you may
need to use the likes of Postfix - but for Dale's situation, a lightweight
forwarder is better than not being able to monitor his system.
