# The mail/extsmail port

## extsmail-1.6 – robust sending of e-mail to external commands

## Description

    extsmail enables the robust sending of e-mail to external commands. In
    effect extsmail masquerades as the standard UNIX sendmail program, reading
    messages, and later trying to send them by user-defined commands. A typical
    use of extsmail is to allow users who regularly move between different
    networks and / or find themselves regularly offline, to ensure that their
    e-mail is sent reliably via ssh to external servers.

    In addition to its main purpose, extsmail also allows priority lists to be
    defined, and also for e-mails to be routed to different servers depending on
    the e-mail content. The former feature allows one to designate a "preferred"
    server to send e-mail, but to use a "backup" server if the preferred server
    is down. The latter feature allows e-mails sent to different e-mail
    addresses, for example, to be routed to different servers; this allows
    e-mails to adhere to the IP addressed filtering increasingly used to cut
    down on spam.
