In addition to msmtp, there's also the very simple ssmtp, and Bruce Guenter's
nullmailer package.  The latter has the benefit of a queue so it works even
when your connection to your ISP's mail server is flaky or intermittent.
ssmtp is probably available prepackaged for Mint; I'm not sure about
nullmailer.
