You have a point in that postfix or sendmail could be replaced with a smaller, local delivery only, smtp agent. However, ¿can you actually sugest such a package? Unless there is one, ready made, available and reliable, or you can convince some developper to develop it, I'm afraid the suggestion is useless.
A quick google shows up http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/ Which is still too heavy for what we're talking about! http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/CodeDoc/SMTP-Server/Server.html http://smtpd.develooper.com/ I realise perl is not a small footprint but if you are running perl anyway ... The simple loop that is illustrated could be implemented in any number of scripting languages, PHP, Ruby, and isn't mindboggling for C. Its not as if a simple relay has to DO anything except queue and dispatch. Its not filtering or delivering. In my case, since I have a mail hub, I can do this with netcat, using it to forward from localhost:25 to mailhub:25 See also: http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~morin/misc/laptopmail/ I use a variation on this to allow my laptop Thunderbird to read the mail on my mailhub and send mail via it when I'm out of the office. -- There is no more cooperative group of people than a gang of boys who have been offered the chance to help legally destroy something. -- http://www.toxiccustard.com/vcr/03.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
