developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
esmtp is a user-configurable relay-only Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) with
a sendmail-compatible syntax. It is based on libESMTP supporting the
AUTH (including the CRAM-MD5 and NTLM SASL mechanisms) and the
StartTLS SMTP extensions.
Features include:
* fully sendmail command-line compatible,
* supports the AUTH SMTP extension, with the CRAM-MD5 and NTLM SASL
mechanisms,
* supports the StartTLS SMTP extension,
* requires no administration privileges,
* individual user configuration,
* does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue,
* local mail delivery via a MDA.
