Bug#561302: O: esmtp -- User configurable relay-only MTA
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the esmtp package.
The package description is:
ESMTP is a user configurable relay-only Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) with a
sendmail-compatible syntax. It's based on libESMTP supporting the AUTH
(including the CRAM-MD5 and NTLM SASL mechanisms) and the StartTLS SMTP
extensions.
.
ESMTP does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue but can deliver
mail locally via an MDA.
.
This package contains the esmtp program.
I'm also the upstream developer and I'm suspending maintainership there
too.
There are other more popular alternatives like ssmtp. At the time I
wrote esmtp ssmtp didn't work for me, and I had spare time on my hands.
Now it is quite the opposite, and it's not worth to put any more time
maintaining these.
Jose
