Not sure what you mean here - a well-designed MTA will not run more
threads than it needs to deliver.
ssmtp seems to silently drop the outgoing mail into a dead-letter file
somewhere in the /root folter so when my network is down or my primary
mailserver fails so I will never get noticed about problems with my
hardware/software/cronjobs.
So I am looking for a basic smtp server,too but it must have its own
mail queue.
In other words, you're looking for an MTA.
I'd suggest Exim, as it is very easy to set up, and quite small (it will
run happily on a P-100 with thousands of messages per day)
Any advice would be welcome. My tool shoul try to resend messages in
intervals or the like and it shoud save my valuable resources (small,
leightweight).
Again, basic functions of an MTA.
