Well I have two machines: The firewall with OpenBSD running qmail, and my desktop with cooker. So I don't see the point in running a mailserver while there is a good one standing next to me. I was looking for something like this, and after some searching found that libesmtp(-devel) were already in contribs, but no esmtp to be seen anywhere. Ok that was easily fixed :) I hope everybody agrees with the fact I made a symlink from the binary to /usr/sbin/sendmail. I mean that's what makes it easy to use. All you have to do as user is make a file like this: [~]% cat .esmtprc hostname = smtp-server-hostname:25 And now I can report bugs for cvs-emacs :) //Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
