This looks like it'll work, although you'll have to set up (at a
minimum) sendmail so that you can receive the emails that the system is
sending out.

Just make sure that if you're going this route, you're straight blocking
any incoming SMTP (port 25) connections until you've had a chance to
secure the sendmail daemon -- wouldn't wanna turn your box into a spam
relay.
