Dragonfly Mail Agent

[Michel Alexandre Salim]

Hi all,

With the recent discussion about removing sendmail from the base
install, has anyone taken a look at DMA? It appears to be designed with
exactly the same purpose in mind -- removing the dependency on a
desktop-oriented install on sendmail or postfix, while still allowing
cron et. al. to function fully.

Perhaps not for F-12, but if we start looking at it now, it might be
well-tested enough to be considered for the next (or second next)
release afterwards.

--
Michel, wondering what F-12+1 will be numbered as!

DMA, the DragonFly Mail Agent, has been updated so that it can deliver
email from cron job output. DMA is a former Summer of Code project to
make a local-only mailer for DragonFly systems, so that larger mail
transfer agents (like Sendmail or Postfix) are not needed on a system
that isn’t designed to receive mail from external sources. There’s a
TODO list (click the gitweb link) if you’d like to contribute.
