Hi,

it is hard to say - i was looking on libesmtp recently, according to our 
smtp state machine issue.

The code is superior and seems very good, but i think it is too "heavy" 
 in our case (we try to keep monit as simple as possible and not to 
depend on other libraries). Libesmtp provides perfect API for smtp 
sessions, but it doesn't implement message queues (which is major part 
of this item).


We'll see :) The implementation was yet not started, what other 
developers think?


Cheers,
Martin
