It would take a Mail user Agent with a built in SMTP interface (perhaps one of the SMTP enabled PERL modules) and then you point it at a sendmail server on another machine. The client does not have to point at a LOCAL sendmail server to send mail, you just need a client that can be configured to SMTP off-host. Just need a MUA where you configure the ip address of the SMTP server, like MS mail/Outlook.
