Changes since 2.61 are difficult to ascertain. There is no useful
upstream changelog, and the full Debian one primarily includes
packaging changes only. However, there appear to have at least been
some security fixes.
* Fixed two format string vulnerabilities (die() and log_event()) (Closes: #243945)
* Segfaults when trying to send mail with authenticated smtp (Closes: #261975)
* Make address rewriting possible to disable (Closes: #146238)
* Add AuthUser, AuthPass, AuthMethod to configuration file (Closes: #249905)
* Logic to choose cram-md5 authentication is backwards (Closes: #249907)
* SSMTP builds with MD5 support but during the exchange it segfaults (Closes: #249203)
* The source compilaton fails if ./configure --enable-logfile is selected (Closes: #242905)
* SSL/TLS support cannot handle STARTTLS (Closes: #244666)

address when FromLineOverride=YES is set (Closes: #205513)

to a mail hub. Originally from pkgsrc-wip; created by Toru TAKAMIZU
<pkg at pop dot 707 dot to>.
A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your
mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail
spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is
simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration.
WARNING: the above is all it does; it does not receive mail, expand aliases
or manage a queue. That belongs on a mail hub with a system administrator.
This program is especially recommended for mutt users who send emails via
ISP's smtp server.
