"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.")
