I suggest ssmtp in the ports: ports/mail/ssmtp
Or it's web site:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/ssmtp.html
"A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your
mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no
mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background.
Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy
configuration."
Only needs 4 or 5 lines in a config file. Read up on the "make replace"
process to install it in place of sendmail.
