| meillo@290 | 8 Wanted: simple mailer for laptop use |
| meillo@290 | 9 |
| meillo@290 | 10 Hi folks, |
| meillo@290 | 11 |
| meillo@290 | 12 can anyone recommend me a good MTA (mail"server") suitable for network |
| meillo@290 | 13 use? My feature wishes would be: |
| meillo@290 | 14 |
| meillo@290 | 15 * SMTP-Auth |
| meillo@290 | 16 * local (!) delivery |
| meillo@290 | 17 * mail queing if offline |
| meillo@290 | 18 * not panic when laptop is offline for 2 or 3 days. |
| meillo@290 | 19 * easy to configure (1 config file if possible) |
| meillo@290 | 20 |
| meillo@290 | 21 I know that postfix and exim4 are able to do this, but they are imo a |
| meillo@290 | 22 bit too heavy for my use. ssmtp and nullmailer don't have local |
| meillo@290 | 23 delivery. Do I really need a heavyweight mailer or is there somewhere |
| meillo@290 | 24 a lightweight alternative? |

| meillo@290 | 35 No kidding. The whole point is that you _have_ to have an MTA and you don't |
| meillo@290 | 36 want to configure Postfix/Exim/Sendmail/Qmail (almost all of which I've |
| meillo@290 | 37 actually done). |
| meillo@290 | 38 |
| meillo@290 | 39 I now use masqmail - it's really simple, my configuration is all in debconf, |
| meillo@290 | 40 it's supported by whereami, and it's really simple |
| meillo@290 | 41 |
| meillo@290 | 42 I'm sure you can make any MTA behave nicely when offline, but it was a chore |
| meillo@290 | 43 with all of them. |
