It works with qmail: you use qmail to deliver messages to a +maildir, and then serialmail to deliver messages out of the maildir. + +serialmail uses ucspi-tcp/tcpclient for networking. It can also be used +with future UCSPI clients for transparent compression, IPv6, etc. + +serialmail supports SMTP, including ESMTP PIPELINING, and QMTP. + +serialmail is under user control. A user delivering messages to a +maildir, and picking up the messages through qmail-pop3d, can switch to +maildirsmtp without pestering the sysadmin. The user can also decide +whether undeliverable messages should be left for POP retrieval or +bounced back to the sender. + +http://pobox.com/~djb/serialmail.html |
