pkgsrc/mail/ssmtp/DESCR
jlam 37b114ba72 Initial import of mail/ssmtp, an extremely simple MTA that forwards mail
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.
