If your system is written in Perl or Python, use one of the available
SMTP protocol modules.
Otherwise, there must be many 'surrogate' sendmail programs that
pretend to be like /usr/sbin/sendmail but behind the scenes use
SMTP commands. The list that I have is 20 years old. Myabe 'acme
sendmail' still works. You will have to deal with error handling
(just return a suitable status to pre-filter Postfix).
