No MTA is simple. Things like mail (mailx), mpack etc do the
one line interface bit for the sendmail command. If you want
to have a look at the source for these, look for "mailx" and
"mpack" on google. The current mpack ver is 1.5. Just compi-
led from source a few days ago. Forget the URL.
If you have have sendmail/ exim or some other MTA installed,
which provides the sendmail command, the simplest is a shell
script like this:
------------<snip>------------
#!/bin/sh
sendmail -vt <<- -EndOfMail-
From: "Someone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc:
Subject: Sending test mail
This is a one line letter
Tester
-EndOfMail-
------------</snip>-----------
Writing a script wrapper based on the above principle can
be made for a command line mail despatcher using sendmail
itself with no MUA requirements.

No consolidated command list, each package installed would be
adding some command to the list ..
Detailed documentation on most packages are kept in /usr/doc
or /usr/share/doc ... just read them.
