Name : ssmtp
Product : Fedora 17
Version : 2.61
Release : 19.fc17
URL : http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp
Summary : Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub
Description :
A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail
hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool
to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply
forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration.
WARNING: the above is all it does; it does not receive mail nor manage queues.
That belongs on a mail hub with a system administrator.
