I am reading up on esmtp which comes with the base install and seemingly no mta needed?

Anyway
https://linux.die.net/man/5/esmtprc

shows how to config for sending an email via esmtp to an mta, but not just local delivery...

The bottom of that manual entry describes the "mta" setting, and says that esmtp relies on a local MTA for local delivery (addresses without an "@"). So you'll need something additional anyway. May as well go straight to a proper MTA.

Had you considered a shell script? cron and most local commands should be using "sendmail -oi addresses... < message" to deliver. A shell script to accept those commands and copy the input to an mbox or Maildir file would be pretty simple...

Um, it doesn't solve delivering email to a different (local) user.

I'm sure I've seen a minimal local MTA somewhere, can't remember. Actually, I think it might have been an esmtp equivalent for purely remote-via-SMTP email. The inverse of what you want.
