I'm using a mini-qmail installation for these kind of setups, it requires
amother qmail machine to deliver to, though.

[in /var/qmail]
$ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Mar 18 14:12 bin
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   15 Mar 18 14:28 control -> ../../etc/qmail
$ ls -l bin/
total 180

This is on alpha, binaries should even be a bit smaller on i386.
