I need to send email in delbian linux. How to send? I run my server on 256 MB linux box and I heard postfix and sendmail is overkill.
Recently I came across the ssmtp, that seems to be an executable, needs to be executed as a process and called through python using os modules.
alternatively, python already provides smtplib which is working fine with me.
What is the advantage of using ssmtp over python's smtplib?
Additionally, postfix is very easy to install in "satellite" mode, where all it does is queue and deliver email for you.  Way easier than implementing your own email queue.  Most decent package management systems will let you configure it this way.
