| 8 Wanted: simple mailer for laptop use | |
| 9 | |
| 10 Hi folks, | |
| 11 | |
| 12 can anyone recommend me a good MTA (mail"server") suitable for network | |
| 13 use? My feature wishes would be: | |
| 14 | |
| 15 * SMTP-Auth | |
| 16 * local (!) delivery | |
| 17 * mail queing if offline | |
| 18 * not panic when laptop is offline for 2 or 3 days. | |
| 19 * easy to configure (1 config file if possible) | |
| 20 | |
| 21 I know that postfix and exim4 are able to do this, but they are imo a | |
| 22 bit too heavy for my use. ssmtp and nullmailer don't have local | |
| 23 delivery. Do I really need a heavyweight mailer or is there somewhere | |
| 24 a lightweight alternative? | |
| 25 | |

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