MTA for firewalls, etc. ?



A lot of packages (e.g., cron) require a mail-transport-agent to be
installed. For security and other reasons, I'd like to have a very simple
MTA which will deliver all mails locally (i.e., directly to
/var/spool/mail) without any `.forwards' files, etc. The MTA should not
accept connections from outside and should never send any mails to other
hosts. 

One could probably tune sendmail/smail to do this, but I'd appreciate
having some _very_ simply MTA (since forgetting to turn off a feature
would result in a security leak). Does someone know a program/package
which does this job? 


Thanks,

Chris
