\section*{\centering Abstract}

\masqmail\ is a \mta\ for workstations and small networks. It is a drop-in replacement for \sendmail, but much smaller.

This diploma thesis analyzes the structure and concepts of \masqmail, and its security and safety.
Based on this knowledge, the source code will get improved and everything will be written down for documentation.

After successful tests in a real environment, a new version of \masqmail\ will be released and it will be packaged for the \gnulinux\ Distribution \debian.
