A year ago I made a few tests using msmtp, a sendmail replacement.

$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May  9 05:25 /usr/bin/sendmail -> msmtp

Setting up a Claws action to send mail stored in the draft folder would
require to remove a few Claws related lines by a script, but then
sending the mail by this action, using msmtp could be done with using
this minimum of headers.

I didn't use Claws, I used an editor for my few tests.
Some serious mails were successfully sent to mailing lists. I also made
experiments sending mails to myself.
