Is should be possible to write a wrapper script/program that understands the sendmail-type interface and then calls ssmtp, or any other program. IIRC, I believe nmh uses sendmail for other options, like address checks. For example, when you do 'whom' at the "What now?" prompt, the addresses are checked against sendmail (-bv). This detail may not matter in your case. I looked a long time back for some simple smtp submission clients that support TLS connections, and it looks like they finally exist. When I get time, and if someone does not write one, I will try to work on a wrapper that works with nmh and calls msmtp. I'd like to be able to use gmail's tls smtp servers for sending outgoing mail, but nmh does not support tls/ssl. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
