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 :)
