I would like to have cron output sent to an external email address, via a minimal SMTP client that sends via Gmail. I think I need this client to support TLS and /etc/aliases, and I would like configuration to be as simple as possible.

msmtp supports all the standard authentication and encryption protocols such as TLS.
