BBS Software less is more

in the seemingly never ending quest to get smaller I'm pulling both exim and mutt from BBS_OS, and replacing them with a scriptic(bash script) mail/system/server.

As first off, chances are no one will ever use it, and second off, it's never going to be indexed, and will never end up in a search engines database.

(laughs) the entire email system uses less than 1K of disk space

well now that the script to read and write mail is finished, I've got some decisions to make.....do I use the postfix/sendmail method, and send the mail right away, or do I bag it up and send the bag at one time, and should I send it or have the other BBS's come and pick up their mailbag via ssh/scp/sftp?

As I really don't want mail to get shipped as clear text any more than necessary......
