I'm not sure that I can help, but what, exactly, do you mean by tiny /
liteweight? Binary size, CPU / RAM usage? IIUC, even the heavy
hitters like Exim use very few resources when not under load. E.g., on
my system, htop shows Exim at 0 CPU, and only "6484 648 588" for "VIRT
RES SHR".

This has come up before on the list. What, exactly, are your
restrictions / goals?

Description: light SMTP client with support for server profiles
msmtp is an SMTP client that can be used to send mails from Mutt and
probably
other MUAs (mail user agents). It forwards mails to an SMTP server
(for
example at a free mail provider), which takes care of the final
delivery.
Using profiles, it can be easily configured to use different SMTP
servers
with different configurations, which makes it ideal for mobile
clients.
.
This package is compiled with GSASL and TLS/SSL support.
.
This package provides the regular MTA program.

We need many more details before making a proper recommendation:

1. The "program" you mention picks up mail via a pipe or a file? If via
file, does the program expect mbox format or maildir format? If neither,
does the "program" speak smtp? If so, why are you asking your question?
Just bind the program to tcp 25.

2. Storage capacity of the flash device and amount of free space? Do you
already have the perl package installed?

3. Have you ever configured an smtp mta before? If yes, which one(s)?

After you provide these answers we should be able to give you the exact
solution you need, if it is physically possible given your storage constraints.

...

msmtp will *not* accept incoming mail (which is what the OP asked for).

The solution is probably one of exim or postfix, possibly recompiled to
keep only a minimum of features needed for the given application, an
answer to Stan's mail will tell more.

Regards,
Andrei
P.S. What keyserver are you using, subkeys keeps timing out when mutt
requests your key
