I don't think it is dependent on having a MTA.  It runs without it.  It
even gives reports in a log.

On the other hand, I think if you want reports as emails, the easiest
thing is to run one, rather than reinvent the wheel.  It's easy to add
one, the default installation works for local mail.  And does so
without making your machine vulnerable as a spambot.

It takes a few minutes to do, rather than several days to try and
bypass.  The only value I see in doing what Robert's trying, is to
learn more about how email works.
