ZMailer is a mailer subsystem for the UNIX systems. It is in charge of
|
||
|
|
handling all mail messages that are created on a system, from their creation
|
||
|
|
until final disposition locally or by transfer to another system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As such, the mailer subsystem (the Mail Transport Agent) must interface to
|
||
|
|
local mail reading and composing programs (User Agents), to the various
|
||
|
|
transport methods that can be used to reach other mailers, and to a variety of
|
||
|
|
databases describing the mailer's environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZMailer provides this functionality in a package and with a philosophy that
|
||
|
|
has benefited from experiences with earlier mailers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZMailer provides a capable, robust, efficient subsystem to do the job, which
|
||
|
|
will excel in demanding environments, but is simple enough to fit easily
|
||
|
|
everywhere.
