Bug#181708: RFP: pushmail -- the opposite of fetchmail
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: pushmail Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Author : Timo Benk [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://pushmail.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL Description : the opposite of fetchmail pushmail aims to be the opposite of fetchmail. It can be used to push email messages to an SMTP server without the need of configuring the local MTA. Initially wrote for the MUA mutt, but it should be possible to integrate it in any other MUA that allows you to set the sendmail program to use.

How is pushmail better than ssmtp, which sounds like it does the same thing, and also Provides: mail-transport-agent?

You have already the answer. ssmtp is an MTA, and pushmail (see the description above) allows to push mail *without* an MTA. ssmtp sends mail to your mail hub, only mail to your configured mail host; pushmail allows different pushes, with different servers, different ports, different authentication methods, *SSL* support, per user configuration, pre-exec. Look at pushmail man page for details. Christian -- Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats. -- Woody Allen
