To be fair, a queue-less design does keep it simple. > 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. msmtp: TLS/SSL and AUTH support. Config can be easier. No queue. nullmailer: AUTH support. No TLS/SSL. Easy to configure and use. Has a queue. I like nullmailer better but usually go with msmtp. TLS/SSL is usually mandatory for login when emails go to some central mail hub and not directly to MX hosts - which is pretty much guaranteed nowadays. I am not sure if we should install a TLS-less mailer by default. Some documantation would be nice in either case. -- Eray Aslan <[email protected]>
