  Description     : enables the robust sending of e-mail to external commands.

extsmail enables the robust sending of e-mail to external commands. extsmail
masquerades as the standard UNIX "sendmail" program, reading messages, and later
piping them to user-defined commands. In a sense, extsmail can be thought of as
a very simple "tiny" sendmail. A typical use is to allow e-mail to be piped via
SSH to external servers running a full sendmail-compatible MTA. extsmail is
designed to have sensible defaults, and configuring it is a one-off, quick job.
