As someone pointed out, using an MTA like sendmail for sending
should not be a problem, just make sure it is not listening. The
MTA does loads of work for you - deciding delivery method, queuing,
looking up MX records etc.
On the other hand, I have sent email from a machine with no MTA
using netcat. Admitedly I have only done it interactively but it
should not be too difficult to script.
Of course, if you could just get the firewall to log to another
machine running syslogd which *does* have an MTA then you could
configure that to email it on to you!
