Here's a patch that allows you to add
--with-smtpserver=<some.host.name>
to the ./configure command line that sets the "servers: " line in
etc/mts.conf, defaulting to "localhost" (the current value). Around
here, we use "mailhost" so that all machines in the current domain just
talk to a central machine and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
--with-smtpserver=mailhost
instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often forgetting
to do so!).
Hopefully this will be of use to someone else as well...
Simon.
