I have not looked at caff's mail config in great depth, but from > what I have seen, this is true. looking in caff(1) i see that caff has a mailer-send parameter, with an example suggesting that you can send it through a preferred SMTP server (even one that requires user name and password), but it says "setting this option is strongly discouraged. Fix your local MTA instead" thanks for prompting me to look this up, i didn't know about it before. > I know this may be a small difference, but having used both tools, I > prefer PIUS (no offense to caff's authors) for signing keys after a > party.

That said, I am open to counter-arguments. you certainly won't find any argument from me against pius making it into the archive on the grounds that caff already does the same thing. As i said before, i'm happy to see some friendly competition in this application space. Thanks for your work for debian, --dkg
