serialmail (pass mail over intermittent links) NB: serialmail is only useful if you are running the qmail MTA. Please check the entry for netqmail before installing serialmail. serialmail is a collection of tools originally designed for passing mail across serial (dialup) links. Nowadays you can use it over any intermittently available links, e.g. wifi at a conference. serialmail works with qmail: you use qmail to deliver messages to a maildir, and then serialmail to deliver messages out of the maildir. serialmail supports SMTP, including ESMTP PIPELINING, and QMTP.
