The source is not GPL'd. I will not require changes to be given back to me (but of course, I will appreciate them). The source can be modified and used in proprietary or commercial software. I haven't looked at ssmtp for awhile, but I don't think it can expand aliases or manage a queue. mailout will be able to do both. (Most systems -- maybe 95-percent or more -- don't need to accept incoming mail and don't need to be able to intelligently route mail; so I want to provide a simple outgoing SMTP tool that can be used for most workstations and in commercial firewalls and other proprietary devices.) > > My vote is for "Debian NetBSD". > > The project itself is called "Debian".

I agree with standard Debian GNU/Linux that GNU is a "major component". Debian BSD/Artistic/public-domain/beerware/postcard/whatever/GNU/NetBSD Or maybe Debian NetBSD. Jeremy C. Reed
