Smail - the Lighter Mail Server

[ Thanks to s. hill for this link. ]

"Smail would be ideal for any situation where complex routing, filters and features (virtual users etc.) are not required. I’ve used it on many a desktop or laptop system where I’ve been developing projects that require a local MTA. I’ve also deployed it on smaller servers that do not provide SMTP to their respective clients. In these cases I needed something to forward locally-produced error messages, cron-job feedback and backup notifications to a remote address (mine)."
