nullmailer has a serious SMTP compliance problem : it retries infinitely when given an SMTP permanent error. This can cost you real money if you pay for bandwidth/transit bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=329192

@telent: you should not use nullmailer in such a scenario.

Thanks! The config guide at troubleshooters.com/linux/nullmailer notes a security issue with nullmailer: it exposes passwords on the command line, or at least used to do that. Other conversations note that mstmp makes it a bit less clear how to enqueue mail than nullmailer.
