I’m looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.
I have used msmtpd
successfully but thought I’d ask if folks have other solutions they like.

If your real SMTP server is doing fine, nullmailer is possibly the simplest of all smtp relay packages available.
I found a nice Ansible role for nullmailer, but found that it is not packaged for Fedora, but msmtp and ssmtp are. I think I may try ssmtp next. Despite its unmaintained status, somewhow it’s packaged and nullmailer isn’t.
