I need a small smtp daemon for use as an MTA to move mail from a desktop to a mail server I could use sendmail or something like it but I am looking for something smaller. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? What about postfix? A friend of mine installed and configured it just some days ago on our vserver (running ArchLinux).

Postfix would work but it's far from being small. Maybe msmtp can do that? -- catwell

Thank you... That would work but I would like something smaller/lighter if I can find something. I am only wanting to send an email from smartctl to the email server. I have it working on the mailserver and want to make it work on the desktop level. Like this 00 00 * * * /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda | mail -s smartctl-sda root@localhost

Aha, this is a little different then. For situations like this, I always configure msmtp to send via my google account. Could that be an option?

Maybe I am looking at the wiki on msmtp now. GNU Mailutils might work too the following is from GNU mailutils mail.remote The mail.remote is designed as a drop-in replacement for /usr/lib/sendmail to forward mail directly to an SMTP gateway.

Ah yeah, if you're just forwarding mail to an existing mail server, you shouldn't need daemons or anything - there's a lot of mail forwarders out there: nbsmtp, msmtp, ...

GNU mailutils has some smallish daemons in it. I don't think we have it packaged anywhere.

I use msmtp, it's really easy to setup. To use msmtp with sendmail. I did this: [jordz ~]$ cat .mailrc set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Msmtp
