  Description     : Reads its standard input up to an end-of-file and sends a copy of the
                    message found there to all of the addresses listed. The message is sent
                    by connecting to a local SMTP server. This means mini_sendmail can be
                    used to send email from inside a chroot(2) area.

This was originally filed as an ITP, by someone else, at http://bugs.debian.org/197018.

It was closed, with ssmtp as a suggested workaround.  That is not what this
program is for.  This program is meant to be installed into a reduced chroot,
and redirect command line mail to localhost:25.  It needs a real working MTA
on the local machine.  This program is meant to be used by php running in a
chroot.

ssmtp, on the otherhand, is designed to be such a real MTA.  If it is
installed. then it removes any other installed MTA(due to package
conflicts).
