This is an excellent solution, much better than what I did before. I was
actually editing the sendmail .cf file to change my FQDN and address. Messy.
I can simply use my regular email address @ricin.com (at a hosting provider)
too now. Both send-pr and porttools need a slight modification to also take
the preferred email adress from .ssmtprc. To have the right <from> and be
also recognised as maintainer by porttools something like this will do:
--- cmd_submit.orig Tue Mar 29 00:10:35 2005
+++ cmd_submit Tue Mar 29 00:36:17 2005

Thanks a lot, sane solution with little effort, just the way I like it :)
