You don't need to set up an SMTP host from scratch (sendmail needs a lot of study ). Use a perl script calling up the Net::SMTP module and connect to an existing SMTP host (you do have one of these, don't you?)
Here's a script that I knocked up. Call it up by piping or redirecting the message content with a message title followed by a list of users.
It would be nice to see your (or anybody's) disk usage monitoring script, if you've written one. I've got one, which I found on the web and modified for my own use (which I could post if anyone is interested.)

net::smtp_auth
SMTP_auth(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SMTP_auth(3pm)NAME
Net::SMTP_auth - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Client with AUTHentication
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SMTP_auth;
# Constructors
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost');
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost', Timeout => 60);
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a client interface to the SMTP and ESMTP protocol AUTH service extension, enabling a perl5 application to talk to
and authenticate against SMTP servers. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the concepts of the SMTP protocol described in
RFC821 and with the AUTH service extension described in RFC2554.
A new Net::SMTP_auth object must be created with the new method. Once this has been done, all SMTP commands are accessed through this
object.
The Net::SMTP_auth class is a subclass of Net::SMTP, which itself is a subclass of Net::Cmd and IO::Socket::INET.
EXAMPLES
This example authenticates via CRAM-MD5 and sends a small message to the postmaster at the SMTP server known as mailhost:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP_auth;
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new('mailhost');
$smtp->auth('CRAM-MD5', 'user', 'password');
$smtp->mail($ENV{USER});
$smtp->to('postmaster');
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: postmaster
");
$smtp->datasend("
");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message
");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
CONSTRUCTOR
new Net::SMTP_auth [ HOST, ] [ OPTIONS ]
This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP_auth object. It is taken from Net::SMTP as all other methods (except auth and auth_types)
are, too.
METHODS
Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a true or false value, with true meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
states that it returns a value, failure will be returned as undef or an empty list.
auth_types ()
Returns the AUTH methods supported by the server as an array or in a space separated string. This string is exacly the line given
by the SMTP server after the "EHLO" command containing the keyword "AUTH".
auth ( AUTH, USER, PASSWORD )
Authenticates the user "USER" via the authentication method "AUTH" and the password "PASSWORD". Returns true if successful and
false if the authentication failed. Remember that the connection is not closed if the authentication fails. You may issue a differ-
ent authentication attempt. If you once are successfully authenticated, you cannot send the "AUTH" command again.
The "AUTH" method "NTLM" is supported via Authen::NTLM (thanks to James Fryman).
