Description:   Opened: 2006-01-06 07:30 0000 
An important property of nullmailer is that it's small and easy to set up,
however these advantages are almost nullified by the fact that it pulls in
daemontools and supervise-scripts which seem to be some kind of second-level
rc/init system.

To work around this cruft, I created a small init script for nullmailer that
I'd like to be included into the nullmailer ebuild to replace the current style
of running the nullmailer-send daemon.

Note that I'm not a regular init-script hacker so I may have overlooked some of
the nasty details, but it seems functional to me and I hope this attempt will
find your appreciation.

daemontools adds no difficulty to running nullmailer, and the --daemon flag
isn't accepted by upstream (it's from the debian patch).

However I've taken your init script, and added some safety to it, so that it
won't be used if nullmailer is running via daemontools.

------- Comment #3 From Stefan Nickl 2006-02-13 05:17:31 0000 ------- 
Agreed.

I might start a fork of nullmailer itself some time to make it a real
busybox-style mta, but I don't think that's gonna happen very soon.
