I've fixed a number of bugs (mostly memory leaks, config parsing issues, and a huge number of warnings when building with a recent GCC). I also added a number of features: 1. The ability to override global config through ~/.ssmtprc 2. The ability to store passwords on a keyring (through ssh-askpass) 3. Message queueing support. 4. PLAIN authentication support Since upstream is no longer maintaining sSMTP it would be nice is we could get this fork in the tree. If you use it with an old config file it will behave just like the original sSMTP with one exception: if AuthMethod is neigher CRAM-MD5 nor LOGIN it falls back to PLAIN, the original falls back on LOGIN even though the documentation says PLAIN. The source code is at: https://github.com/fernando-rodriguez/ssmtp-reloaded And I have an ebuild for it here: https://github.com/fernando-rodriguez/portage-overlay/tree/master/mail-mta/ssmtp-reloaded Reproducible: Always
Considering bug 258018 and abandoned upstream bug ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544018 ), would Fernando consider becoming the maintainer of ssmtp?
