Thank you. That is great to know. I happen to use nmh to read and send messages. The newest versions of nmh which is a very old application but extremely safe from a security standpoint allow one to modify the From: line in the message. I am upgrading the system I use for email to jessie so I can upgrade nmh. If that still fails to satisfy the authentication requirements, it is good to know of msmtp. I'm always looking for a bigger hammer, so to speak. Martin McCormick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
