Multiple tools (e.g. cron, php, MUAs) expect a sendmail compatible program to send emails. We currently don't have a /usr/bin/sendmail so these tools need more configuration or don't work. Installing a complete MUAs like postfix or sendmail on every system seems to be to much overhead. MUAs need to maintain a mail queue, generate bounce email, require daemons, user-idents, privileged code and a lot of configuration. msmtp in not a complete MUA, but provides a sendmail compatible interface. The plan is to configure it to pipeline email to our central mailhub. From [1] : msmtp is an SMTP client. In the default mode, it transmits a mail to an SMTP server Features include: Sendmail compatible interface (command line options and exit codes) Support for multiple accounts TLS/SSL support including client certificates Many authentication methods Support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) Fast SMTP implementation using command pipelining DSN (Delivery Status Notification) support SOCKS proxy support [1] http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/
