Local mail



What is the minimum configuration necessary to deliver local mail?  That is, 
given a machine with multiple users and no external connection, what do I 
need to enable users to send messages to one another?  Everything I can find 
on the web talks about setting up sendmail, qmail, exim, etc.  Surely I don't 
need to install a full featured MTA just to get local mail.  All I want is to 
be able to use mail -t or pine and have the messages dropped 
into /var/spool/mail/username (or ~/.maildir or whatever.)
