I’m looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I’d ask if folks have other solutions they like.

    In the issue I linked, the msmtp author makes a distinction with changing the envelope recipient, which msmtp can do, with rewriting the email headers like “To”, which msmtp does not do.

      https://github.com/chriswayg/ansible-msmtp-mailer/issues/14 While msmtp has features to alter the envelope sender and recipient, it doesn’t alter the “To:” or “From:” message itself. When the Envelope doesn’t match these details, it can be considered spam

      Oh I didn’t know that, good to know!

      The proposed one-line wrapper looks like a nice solution
