and probably other MUAs (mail user agents). msmtp forwards mails
to an SMTP server (for example at a free mail provider) which does
the delivery.
Features include:
* SMTP AUTH methods PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5
* TLS encrypted connections
* IPv6 support
* robustness
* detailed error messages (including the full answer of the
SMTP server) if something goes wrong
* sendmail compatible exit codes (which most MUAs understand).
Simply tell your MUA to call msmtp instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
