well it needs to send it somewhere, and running a built in MTA is the simplest way by a long shot. If you don't want a full blown SMTP server, try something very cut down like esmtp, ssmtp or bsmtp which are purely there to get mail off of a box, not recieve or do much of interest. If you want to do it purely within PHP I think you'd need a package like PEAR.
