I checked out ssmtp and it is not what we would eventually want. It
does not deliver _any_ mail locally.
Indeed procmail cannot deliver local mail, and I though about writing
some script which acomplishes the simple task of distinguishing
between local and remote recipients and pipe the local ones a copy via
the default delivery method, while putting the remote ones into a kind
of outgoing queue. However has it done or is faster than I, go ahead.
Javier states it clearly, it is not necessary to have a daemon running
for this.
