Sending System Mail from Root to a Exchange Server


Hello,
I have the following problem and cant realy set it up properly.
We have a Linux mail relay running in our Network. The Relay takes the e-mail from our e-mail provider and delivers it to the Exchange server. To achive this we set up "fetchmail". This so far works perfectly.
Now to my problem:
I want to send the systemlogs to the Systemadministrator(administrator@ourNet.org). Do i have to install something like "sendmail" for it to work or is there some way to get around without having to set up a Mailserver?
As stated above i only wanna send a logfile towarde him and only inside the local net. No external e-mail shall be send with the mail relay. Compressing or converting the logfiles into a different file format wouldnt be a problem either if it saves me the trouple setting up a mail server (its more security reasons why i dont wanna do that)

More than likely, you need an MTA running on the Linux server in order for the mails to get sent and delivered. Usually it requires no additional setup, install sendmail or postfix, etc and just start it up, start sending emails.
