It would not be officially into Debian's archive. Please take a look into the Social Contract of Debian to learn about the commitment of the project to its users and the understanding of some of free software user needs, as well as the explanation on supporting the non-free section. I do not like non-free software, not misunderstand also, what I'm trying to say, I just understand why Debian's Social Contract explains the non-free section. Anyway, sendEmail is released under GPL with a non-DFSG-compatible clause, which stands: *** The use of this software for sending spam *** *** or unsolicited email is explicitly denied *** This would obviously violate DFSG #6. But, in this case, I probably it could be justificable. Anyway, I'm trying to convince upstream author to change the license, since I really like his software and I'd like to have it integrated officially into Debian. > And we have already at least two packages serving this purpose (ssmtp, > nullmailer). How is this one different? Because I find it easy to use, and I think other users will find it as well. > PS: instead of the 1001st smtp-mailer agent, I would like to see a > compact local-nullmailer (sendmail command just writing to > /var/spool/mail or procmail pipe).

And we have already at least two packages serving this purpose (ssmtp, nullmailer). How is this one different? Rgards, Eduard. PS: instead of the 1001st smtp-mailer agent, I would like to see a compact local-nullmailer (sendmail command just writing to /var/spool/mail or procmail pipe). -- Nur wer im Wohlstand lebt, schimpft auf ihn. -- Ludwig Marcuse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
