Hi all, I'm looking for a mail transfer agent for a typical workstation, laptop or simple server configuration, but so far I haven't found a suitable one either in Debian or elsewhere. The ones I've checked are either too simple (nullmailer, ssmtp) or too complex (exim and everything else).
I think what an average workstation user or (non-mail) server administrator wants from an MTA is following: 1. The MTA is not a daemon and does not receive mail from the network 2. Mail is sent to external addresses via an smtp relay 3. If the smtp host cannot be contacted, the mail is queued. Retransmission is tried hourly by a cron-job or similar. 4. No local delivery of mail (mail sent to local accounts is either discarded, or sent to the users external address found from a mail alias file) And optionally 5. The mail to UIDs under 1000 (i.e. root) is also appended to a flat file in /var/log or similar Does Debian have something which could be easily bent to follow these requirements, or do I have to write one myself? All the best, Teemu PS. I'm not on the list, so please send replies also to me, thanks.
