If you just want something simple and reliable, going through sendmail 
can be a good idea. We've used this library at Klarna for years:

For local testing, e.g., on a laptop, I can recommend installing 
nullmailer as sendmail replacement rather than postfix or exim4 
(http://undesigned.org.za/2007/11/22/nullmailer-a-developers-best-friend) if 
you're just interested in forwarding mail from the local machine to a 
smarthost.
