Authentication for SMTP is relatively new. So it's not surprising that some programs support authentication for POP and not SMTP. But nevertheless ... the version of nmh you're using _does_ support SMTP AUTH. You need to compile it with Cyrus-SASL support (--with-cyrus-sasl). I actually don't recall if it will use the info from your .netrc ... but a quick look at the source code leads me to believe that it will. Note that if you don't already have Cyrus-SASL compiled, it can be ... tricky to get working. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
