But I'm not sure that msmtp is the best replacement.
One of the greatest things that bugs me about ssmtp is that if the mailserver is not available, it hangs for a while, and then it loses the email. Where I need a simple mail relay, I've gone with nullmailer instead, because it supports the features, and it explicitly has a lightweight daemon mode that queues mail to send. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : [email protected] GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
