Current cronie lists "smtp-server: sending cron job output via email" in optional dependencies. However, having a full smtp server for this task is an overkill. A working sendmail alias is sufficient to mail - I use msmtp-mta for this task.

I think listing more lightweight solutions in optional deps in addition to smtp-server will benefit users. msmtp-mta provides smtp-forwarder, so adding smtp-forwarder seems a better solution than listing various mtas out there. Maybe yet better options exist.
This task depends upon
