There are some lighter mail servers that will just do local
delivery. On the other hand, setting up Postfix for it only requires
editing one or two lines in a configuration file. Now, I need the
mail server to be able to send mail over the Internet, so I had to
do a little extra configuration. (I send out monthly calenders to a
bunch of people.) On the other hand, installing Postfix would be a
lot less work then what you are going through with Sendmail right
now. And Sendmail is just as much overkill...

I never considered it worth while to search out and learn one of the
light MTA replacements when Postfix works well for me.
