esmtp would _not_ solve the problem. This is not about bashing exim, it is the 
general problem of having to store the SMTP/Auth-Password when using an 
automated program like this.

I'd really love to have a program, that does not try to deliver itself but 
uses a user-configurable maildir directory to simply store the data. In this 
case, I could simply use the outgoing-mail or draft directory of kmail and 
then send it with kmail.
