§Mail dispatch abstraction
samotop-delivery is a set of transports to deliver mail to, notably to SMTP/LMTP, but also maildir… It is used in Samotop as a dispatch solution for incoming mail, but you can use it to send mail, too.
§Features
-
Do it SMTP style:
- Speak SMTP
- Speak LMTP
- Connect over TCP
- Connect over Unix sockets
- Connect to a Child process IO
- TLS support on all connections
- Reuse established connections
-
Do it locally:
- Write mail to a MailDir
- Write mail to lozizol journal
- Write mail to an MBox file - contributions welcome
- Write mail to a single dir - fit for debug only
-
Popular integrations:
- Send mail with sendmail
LMTP on Unix socket enables wide range of local delivery integrations, dovecot or postfix for instance. Some mail delivery programs speak LMTP, too.
