About

Putmail is a very lightweight MTA or SMTP client, distributed under the terms of the X Consortium License. It is designed to replace the sendmail command when used with MUAs that lack SMTP support, like mutt. Its main features are:

  • Command-line compatibility with sendmail.
  • TLS support. SSL can also be used with an external tool like stunnel.
  • IPv6 support. I have not tested this myself, but in theory it works. If you can confirm whether this works or not, please contact me.
  • Optional per-address configuration. You can use different settings depending on the From: header.
  • Multiplatform. It works on any platform Python works.
  • Simple to configure.
  • Short and sweet. Less than 500 lines of source code.
