  1. msmtp: Add version 1.6.6 

    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
