    I have been running #ssmtp on raspberrypi as I need to get mail off the box. However, I see notes on debian that is is now unmaintained but still available as a package.

    I've looked at #msmtp as an alternative and also #dma. both seem to work well

    I only need a method of getting mail off the box so I don't need a full smtpd like exim, postfix etc.

    What's the feeling for a futureproof, supported transfer agent?
    TIA

  2. Dear GNU/Linux users. If you are using SSMTP and want to forward local users mails to an external email address do yourself a favor and install bsd-mailx and configure /etc/mail.rc accordingly.

    Why you ask? Because it took me like FOREVER to figure shit out. The /etc/ssmtp/revaliases don't do what I expected from it since days.

    After installing bsd-mailx and configuring /etc/mail.cf it finally worked (again).
