Short version: set sendmail="/usr/bin/ssmtp -C/etc/ssmtp/<config file>" works just fine in a folder-hook. Long version: If you are reading this then I solved the problem with the previously mentioned "-C" stuff - ssmtp does not seem to allow one to specify "~/foo.conf" (for example) as the config file. If you set it to -C/etc/ssmtp/foo.conf then everything will be fine and you can happily have as many different email accounts and external mailhubs as your heart desires and you can maintain the configurations for. I don't know if not allowing the config file to be anywhere but /etc/ssmtp is a bug, a feature, or a random twist of fate, but it would be nice if the maintainer could mention it in the man file (or maybe I just missed it when I read it). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
