Yes! You got it!!! And this was my original question!!!! Which mail
client? Remember, I already mentioned mail/mailx/nail. The problem is
that the documentation for these is worthless. So if anyone knows how
to set up an account using ~/.nailrc and/or ~/.mailrc and/or CL args to
set up the connection for /sending/ mail (WithOut a Local Server), we
might be able to accomplish something.
The nail man page has an example for using the smtp clause in an
account definition. Did you read about that clause? Did you try it?
If it didn't work, what did "nail -v" output when you attempted to
send mail?
I have never used a Linux (or any other Unix system, for that
matter) without a locally configured mail system -- it is a sure
disaster waiting to happen. Therefore I was never in your situation.
But when I just called "man nail" on my 10.0 system and simply
searched for smtp, the example with an external SMTP server was the
5th match, there I saw that there is an smtp clause which looked
like the obvious configuration option; and the smtp clause itself
has promptly a good description as well. It took me more time to
write this post than to find the relevant information.
Look, if you can identify that information in the nail man page, if
you think that it is worthless and not understandable, then you
seem to be a newbie to such class of tasks -- and then you should
stick to the recommended way of doing it (configure your local mail
system). Or you invest in RTFM and ask _specific_ questions when
you don't get that option to work.
