Description-en: enables the robust sending of e-mail to external commands
extsmail masquerades as the standard UNIX sendmail program, reading
messages, and later piping them to user-defined commands.
.
In a sense, extsmail can be thought of as a very simple "tiny" sendmail
(Think SSMTP, UUCP, ...)
.
A typical use is to allow e-mail to be piped via ssh to external servers
running a full sendmail-compatible MTA. extsmail is designed to have
sensible defaults, and configuring it is a one-off, quick job.
