1 The current default mta in gentoo - ssmtp - has a more or less dead
2 upstream and has some outstanding bugs. It is prudent to change our
3 default mta.
4
5 Both mail-mta/nullmailer and mail-mta/msmtp are lightweight good mtas.
6 Both packages have active development and provide AUTH and SSL/TLS
7 support.

9 Our current mta list is:
10 mail-mta/ssmtp
11 mail-mta/courier
12 rest of the list
13 ...
14
15 As net-mail herd, we would like to have the following mta list:
16 mail-mta/nullmailer
17 mail-mta/msmtp
18 mail-mta/ssmtp
19 rest of the list
20 ...
21
22 If there are no objections, the above change will be committed in ~10
23 days.
