You might want to check out the ssmtp package. 

Taken from apt-cache show ssmtp;

"Description: Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub
A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your
mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail
spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is
simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration."
