Here is another one I've been using for a few years now:

It allows you to define the sender from the ENV.  This combined with 
SMTPHOST allows you do something like this in cron, which is nice if you 
don't have the hosts domain in public DNS.

export SMTPHOST=<forwarding smtp server>
export SMTPSENDER=sysadmin@domain.net
echo Starting cron
/usr/sbin/crond -l 6

Or if you are sending email from another script:

SMTPHOST=<forwarding smtp server> SMTPSENDER="sysadmin@domain.net" sendmail
