what MTA do you have installed?
btw, sendmail *is* the "standard" for mail systems. :)

if you mean that you don't have an MTA installed at all; look into one of
the send-only MTAs out there, like nullmailer(+debian patches), or similar
ones (can't think of the names right now; they all suck compared to
nullmailer once the debian patches have been added to it). do a freshmeat
search, you'll find many.
