ssoma is a git-based mail archiver and transport. Email is injected via
ssoma-mda(1) (MDA: mail delivery agent) on a server and may be shared
(via git) and extracted to mbox, Maildir, or IMAP via ssoma(1). It
-exists primarily as the mechanism for public-inbox.org, but may easily
-be used for other projects.
