I want to send out one off emails from a linux server. The server does not need to receive emails back.
Is there a simpler solution than sendmail for sending outgoing emails only?
I would prefer to use Perl to send the email.

Sendmail is not the only choice. you can use Postfix, Qmail, and many others
my Perl scripts call the mailx command. to know how to use it, type ‘man mailx’ However this require to have a MTA correclty configured.
Or you can just use the Net::SMTP perl library and use your smtp server of choice
