If all you provide is an alias, the users aren't going to need any 
access to the server.  The MTA just gets their messages and passes them 
on to the final destination (after expanding the alias).

There are ways to use user/passwd with MTAs, as well as to run the SMTP 
session over TLS.  Doesn't seem necessary in this case.

The new box is Debian which uses Exim.  So unless the new admins change 
that, no Sendmail.  (I suppose there are reasons why people still run 
Sendmail but I've yet to come across one that would make me want to run it.)
