Install "ssmtp" from EPEL and run `alternatives --config mta' to change
from sendmail to ssmtp. That procedure will set a proper symlink for the
sendmail command execution, which is required when you submit mails by
using mail(x) command. `chkconfig sendmail off' will switch off the
sendmail service.

In /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configure your relay host parameters.
