Description Tom Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-29 11:34:28 UTC
Hi there,

msmtp is a SMTP client that was designed with Mutt and other MUAs in mind. It has all the features you'd expect from an SMTP client, including support for IPv6, TLS encrypted connections, DSN support, support for multiple accounts, and sendmail compatible exitcodes (for MUA compatibility).

msmtp is also very portable; GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX, MacOS X, Win32+Cygwin, Win32+MinGW and MS-DOS/FreeDOS+DJGPP+Watt32 are all known to work. I suspect there should be absolutely no problem getting the thing on different archs under Gentoo, so testers needed :)

msmtp also has optional GNU SASL support, but seeing as libgsasl is only in the alpha stages, I don't even think it would be a Good Thing to put that into ~keyword, and hardmasking isn't an option because it would be a dependency. If I'm wrong, shout at me and I'll ebuild libgsasl and gsasl too for the sake of being thorough :)

I'm going to be ebuilding msmtpqueue shortly, a pair of simple shell scripts that allow you to "queue" mails and send them all at a later time (useful for dialup connections: write your mails offline and send them when you are online).

For category, net-mail seems like the obvious choice here.. ;)

Dammit, didn't realise that... guh, I'm stupid sometimes.

But yeah, I'll happily work with Martin Lambers :)

Fixed the ebuild, some silly mistakes and redundant things.
