How does it compare to other lightweight agents like msmtp?

  I did look into a number of these minimal MTA's, reading a few blog posts etc. before deciding on dma. A couple of neat features: - Reads aliases from /etc/aliases like the Flying Spaghetti Monster intended. - Limited (very limited, but good enough for smarthost type usage) spooling support. So if there's a glitch at the moment you're trying to send mail, it's not lost (as DMA doesn't run any daemons, there's a cronjob which checks the outgoing spool and tries to deliver the email). - Actively maintained, and available in the distro archives.

    Interesting solution to the spool, not sure if I want it for my own stuff, but it is very minimalistic and nice. I get why you picked it. Seems like it tries to do the minimum possible to replace traditional sendmail with something still unixy.
