Re: CAll for standard bastion smtp: ssmtp

The ssmtp cannot handle that stuff. SSMTP is only for getting Mail generated
on the Firewall off to a mail-relay. This will be Mail like Cron Reports,
Alerts and stuff. A Problem with this software is, that is has no queue. I
think especially for Alerts and important reports this is a no-go-
Another Solution can be "serialmail" from DJB (qmail). It can be used to make
mail-queues and flush them to an external host. Then we only need a sendmail
emulation (like ssmtp provides).
For Mail Proxy, I would suggest Optuse SMTPD (possibly in combination with
ssmtp)
For Mail-Relays/Comm-Server I think qmail is one of the more
secure solutions. But on the Other hand, the Comm-server Issue is outside
the scope of the basic work we have to do here, therefore: no religious war
on that topic.
Hmm.. I think we don't have the Optuse smtpd as an Debian Package, so I will
do that.
