# smtp-proxy # smtp-proxy
Simple Go SMTP relay/proxy server that accepts mails via SMTP Simple Golang based SMTP relay/proxy server that accepts mail via SMTP
and forwards directly to another SMTP server. and forwards it directly to another SMTP server.
## Why another SMTP server?
Outgoing mails are usually send via SMTP to an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)
which is one of Postfix, Exim, Sendmail or OpenSMTPD on UNIX/Linux in most
cases. You really don't want to setup and maintain any of those full blown
kitchensinks yourself because they are complex, fragile and hard to
configure.
My use case is simple. I need to send automatically generated mails from
cron via msmtp/sSMTP/dma, mails from various services and network printers
to GMail without giving away my GMail credentials to each device which
produces mail.
