#msmtpq

This is my take on a message queue for msmtp.

It is made of 3 components:

• msmtpqd: a daemon that actually runs msmtp to send e-mails
• mqmtpq: the "replacement" for msmtp, used to send (i.e. enqueue) e-mails
• msmtp-ctl: a control tool for the daemon: to list unsend e-mails, inspect them, remove them, or force the daemon to try to send e-mails again

The msmtpqd daemon waits for an Internet connection to be available before trying to send e-mails, and notifies the user once the pending e-mails are sent.

All of these components communicate with each other over D-Bus.

This is probably overkill and could be replaced by a much simpler Bash script, but I had fun writing this a few years ago... And it still works really well for me :)

That's it!
