There is some discussion about not wanting SendMail due to it's "many exploits". Also, the thought was "why implement an MTA when we're not receiving any mail, just sending it." Using something like PINE, I can simply point the Pine config to the actual SMTP server. Hum, I wonder if that could be done in this case. Again, this is only for outgoing "email alerts".
Is there a MUA which can talk to an SMTP/MTA server on a different system and is easily scriptable? I only use PINE. OK, I'm in the dark ages, but it is simple to use. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
