I would like to combine the immediacy of using $sendmail to send

having configuration outside of my $HOME.

I found nullmailer, but it is designed for a system-wide use:
conffiles in /etc/, stuff in /var, etc. I'm not sure I would manage to
have it work differently.

Postfix is very simple to configure in my experience, it's the
standard on some distributions.

Me too. I run postfix as the local mail system on this Mac and have mutt deliver to it.

Having your local machine mail system working is very useful - you can send messages while offline and they will be queued and go out when you're next online. For example, when catching up on email on a train.

It does require config outside your homedir, but on the other hand your machine's mail system is then useful.

Can you outline what kind of criteria you would want to use in your hooks?
