Use a simple forwarding MTA (like nullmailer or ssmtp) instead.

IIRC, ssmtp is a command-line replacement of sendmail vs
running as a daemon.  MH/nmh communicate with sendmail via
the -bs option, something ssmtp does not support I believe.

I have not looked at nullmailer.  First I've heard of it.
Does it support -bs mode of sendmail?  Can it run as
a daemon and accept SMTP connections directly?

-bs mode was what I would like to avoid because this is where SMTP is
involved. Piping the mail (= the output of `list' in the whatnow
prompt) to /usr/sbin/sendmail (= the compatibility interface) is what
I would prefer.
