Confusing package description

Hi! The current package description
Send mail without SMTP server
is very confusing, because from the readme it seems like this package does indeed need an SMTP server that it can talk to over TCP.
I have a linux setup with the usual sendmail
command installed system-wide in a way that every usual application (e.g. cron, PHP, Perl) can use it to send mail, even when I'm offline. It just stores the files in my outbox queue file, no TCP networking involved (not even to localhost) while offline. I had hoped your package would provide that for Node.js. However, if it would, the SMTP options wouldn't make sense, so I guess it's an SMTP client of sorts.
This package lets you send emails without installing/running separate SMTP server software (e.g. postfix) or integrating email providers (e.g. Sendgrid). The receipient still needs an SMTP server to receive the emails.
node-sendmail
is itself an SMTP client.
node-sendmail

Thanks for the clarification. Then let's hope someone will update the readme soon.
