I’m looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.
I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I’d ask if folks have other solutions they like.
In the issue I linked, the msmtp author makes a distinction with changing the envelope recipient, which msmtp can do, with rewriting the email headers like “To”, which msmtp does not do.

While msmtp has features to alter the envelope sender and recipient, it doesn’t alter the “To:” or “From:” message itself.
When the Envelope doesn’t match these details, it can be considered spam
Oh I didn’t know that, good to know!
The proposed one-line wrapper looks like a nice solution
