I have good experience with exim4, the default config needs some tweaking (at least under Debian) for SSL and AUTH stuff, but that is fairly documented and not difficult to setup. I only have one "upstream" provider, a so-called smarthost, so I need not fear it will break with any other mail host. YMMV. Of course running exim4 only for mail-forwarding is a bit like hunting sparrows with cannons (or whatever the equivalent english phrase is :-) but then, it gets the job done, and without any mail in the queue its memory footprint and cpu usage are neglible.
