| 127 \subsection*{\masqmail} | |
| 128 \label{sec:masqmail} | |
| 129 The \masqmail\ program was written by Oliver Kurth, starting in 1999. His aim was to create a small \mta\ which is especially focused on computers with dial-up connections to the internet. \masqmail\ is easy configurable for situations which are rarely solveable with the common \MTA{}s. | |
| 130 | |
| 131 \masqmail\ queues mail for destinations outside the local network if no connection to the internet is online. If the machine goes online, this mail is sent. Mail to local machines is sent immediately. | |
| 132 | |
| 133 While the other \MTA{}s are more general purpose \MTA{}s, \masqmail\ aims on special situations only. Nevertheless can it handle ordinary mail transfers too. | |
| 134 | |
| 135 \masqmail\ is released under the \GPL, which makes it \freesw. The latest stable version is 0.2.21 from November 2005. | |
| 136 | |
| 137 The program's new homepage \citeweb{masqmail:homepage} provides further information about this \MTA. | |
