@Ambarishrh You are starting to sound like @aaronstuder.
Please be more clear that you are posting something you found and not something you sell or made. Unless it is something you sell or make, then be more clear that you do.

Interesting. What would this do differently than just using sendmail or postfix, though?

This one features tracking and analytics.

This outbound campaign tracking analytics is just like what MailChimp would give you. It's a pretty cool tool to have for anyone who is doing outbound email campaign work although I didn't notice specifics around handling opt-outs and no-contact lists which pretty much places it out-of-scope for external marketing.
Also, if the intent for this was outbound marketing to external recipients, if the URL redirection doesn't allow for whitelisting of domains, someone could spoof one of your campaigns, and use to redirect URL to anywhere they want, all using this handy little server.
For internal, same domain outbound email tracking and reporting, this could be very useful. But I've seen disasters from other tools with similar functions that didn't take into account a lot of CASL requirements (Canada).
Could make for a cool internal project though.

@JaredBusch My profile doesn't show that I am a service provider, neither have i mentioned on any of my posts that i sell or made something and I believe if I share something of that kind, it would rather go to self promotion section. Due to this i don't think i need to mention that every share i do here needs to mention that it is something i found, or to be clear unless i mention specifically, it is always the case that i found something and wanted to share it with the ML community!

@Ambarishrh said in and we have since decided that it should be released as an open source project for the community.
This right here is the bit that makes people say "Oh YOU are the provider of the tool"

If you just do a quick addition of quotes or something, that can be all that is needed. Without them, it's your voice being used hence the problem.
