I'd go with whatever is the default on your OS. Being the maintainer
for Debian's exim packages, I am kind of biased.

If you have a working mailserver installation on the network, you
might want to go with one of the "featureless" mailers like ssmtp or
nullmailer. If so, take care what your local mail server does when the
smtp server is not reachable.
