1068: Use a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to send mail instead of a mail server listening at a TCP/IP port

We have a Debian Linux system with no mail server listening for incoming
mail, but with a mail transfer agent (e.g., ssmtp).  Most programs we use
(e.g., svn's mailer.py) will use the mail transfer agent (MTA) program
directly, and not require either an open relay, or putting a user's
password in a config file.

It would be great if Reviewboard would do the same.  Perhaps it could use
some Python package to do so?

Note: a more popular example of an MTA is sendmail or qmail.  ssmtp emulates
sendmail, but is much much simpler in functionality and config.

This will be easier in the future. Right now we're depending on Django's support, and
hard-coding it. We'll have this abstracted out a bit later and be able to deal with
different hooks (including using a more proper mail solution).

FYI, I since have no need of this change personally, so prioritize as you will.

I have exactly the same need...
