Hmm some interesting ideas, thanks!  I also found something called 'nullmailer' 
which sounds like it works in a way similar to Stroller's description of the 
apple mailer.  But I think it's a daemon, which wants to be running.

I *do* have a home server which is running SMTP, it accepts email from my LAN, 
but not the outside world.  Running postfix but haven't looked into learning how 
to set up SMTP authentication.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't help anyway since at work, where I tend to plug my 
laptop in, I'm firewalled off from my home server.

Ah, well, I'll keep digging :-)
