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.
