  Description     : exports prometheus-style metrics about mail server functionality


 # Description

 This package exports metrics for the prometheus monitoring system about
 mail server functionality. It can be used for mail delivery systems that
 are based on Maildir and tests MDA and optionally SMTP functionality.
 .
 Gathered metrics include roundtrip times and mail timeouts and exposes
 those in the prometheus metrics format.

 # reasoning for packaging

 A lot of servers are running Debian GNU/Linux. This packet allows installing
 instrumentation to monitor mailservers with the prometheus-monitoring-system
 directly from within debian.
