Sendmail in its default setup is almost perfect in this respect. It doesn't listen to anything but localhost, and it will get security upgrades with the rest of the system. The only real change it needs is to set up a smarthost for it to relay its notices to, and an alias to root to receive the notices.

It is even pretty simple to switch off the sendmail daemon and only run the queueing submission agent:

1) edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and set
   "DAEMON=no"
2) edit /etc/mail/submit.mc and set
   FEATURE(`msp', `[IP.of.relayhost]')dnl

Given the sendmail-cf RPM is already installed a "service sendmail restart" is enough to a light, direct submitting sendmail setup.
