Re: CAll for standard bastion smtp: ssmtp
don't make a global decission :
i prefer exim, others prefer qmail, and maybe some people still want to
use sendmail.
but i agree : as far as i know, ssmtp is only for local->smarthost
delivery. this is the best solution for all pc's that should not carry
it's own mail systems.
it will do a good job on a firewall without a mail system, to pass the
log file output's etc. to the internal mail host.
but if you want to have a mail server running on the firewall, and deny
all other mail traffic, you need a mail server to forward the mail
(after doing security scans ?) to the other side. in that case you can't
use ssmtp for that.
