This is a Call for Reviewers for a new submission to the newsgroup
"comp.sources.reviewed".  Instructions for responding to this CFR are
included at the end of this message.

	Submission Name: ssmtp
	Environment: Unix (Berkeley type)
	Number of shar parts: 1

                              -----------
                              Description
                              -----------

  This is sSMTP, a program that replaces sendmail on workstations
that should send their mail via a departmental mailhub.  This
program accepts mail and sends it to the mailhub, optionally
replacing the domain in the From: line with a different one.

  It uses no external confuguration information, and so can be 
installed by copying the (right!) binary to a given machine.
All configuration is done via parameters to make and/or in the 
Makefile.
...
  This is not a complete sendmail.  It is only a program to post
mail to a mailhub for people who don't **want** a complete sendmail.

Type of systems supported:
  Berkeley-derived, or ones othewise using /user/lib/sendmail as a
mail transfer agent.
  In use on SunOS 4.1.1 and Ultrix 4.2, tested briefly on Aix 3.2 and
NeXT.
