And even if it doesn't speak SMTP, but wants to invoke the 'sendmail'  
command to inject the message, postfix has a 'sendmail' command which  
is (mostly) compatible and performs injection into a postfix setup.

In fact, it looks like you can setup Concrete5 to use an external SMTP  
server.

http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/designers/using-google-apps-for-your-outgoing-mail/

You should be able to use those instructions to figure out how to  
point your Concrete5 install at sonic.net for your outgoing SMTP server.
