Just a quick question for all of you guys. Does anyone use ssmtp or nbsmtp? They are both in extra, along with msmtp, and it seems like quite a lot of duplication. So based on developer usage, we're most likely going to boot ssmtp and nbsmtp.
Does anyone have a problem with that? They *will* be moved to the AUR and can be move to community if any TU wants them.
Opinions?
AFAIK those tools are used only by users of text based mail clients like mutt, pine etc. Mutt already has smtp functionability built-in in latest versions so for people using mutt, they should start using it if they already havent. IMO msmtp is the best of the *smtp's. Glad its staying in extra. BTW theres also esmtp in [community] already. Greg
