I had no idea that ssmtp was under development somewhere else-- had I known, I might've saved myself the time of rewriting this one. I can't get a response from their ftp server at the moment, but I'll have to drift over there eventually and take a look. That may be a while, though-- what I have now works well enough, and I'm busy with other things. >Since you seem to be way more interested in using and maintaining >ssmtp, I'm offering to step back as maintainer so that you can step >forward and take over. I guess that would be in everyone's interest. Sorry, I can't commit to investigating bug reports, keeping up with development, and the other things I'd feel responsible for as the maintainer of a software package. I didn't want to rewrite ssmtp, but I couldn't find anything else that small and simple, which does pretty much what I need. Having rewritten it though, I thought I'd share it with other Cygwin users.
