(description "libESMTP is an SMTP client which manages posting (or
submission of) electronic mail via a preconfigured Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
It may be used as part of a Mail User Agent (MUA) or other program that must
be able to post electronic mail where mail functionality may not be that
program's primary purpose.")
(description
"libESMTP is an @acronym{SMTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol} client that
manages posting (or submission of) electronic mail via a preconfigured
@acronym{MTA, Mail Transport Agent}.
It may be used as part of a @acronym{MUA, Mail User Agent}, or other program
that must be able to post electronic mail where mail functionality may not be
that program's primary purpose.
libESMTP's high-level API shields developers from the complexity of SMTP. It
transparently handles many SMTP extensions including authentication,
@acronym{TLS, Transport-Level Security}, and PIPELINING for performance. Even
without a pipelining server, libESMTP offers much better performance than would
be expected from a simple client.")
