Hi,
I am using Mutt as my MUA, and I have trouble sending mail. Mutt
uses an external program (by default sendmail) to send mail. The
problem is that sendmail isn't good enough, I think, because I
can't convince it to *change* my From: line to whatever I like. I
I have to do this, because myuser@mybox is not a valid address.
sendmail has an -f option to rewrite the from: line, but it can
only be used by 'trusted users'. So what I did was to install
ssmtp. this program is very simplistic: it reads stdin, and sends
mail to a preconfigured smtp server, using (if desired) the from:
line, as supplied. so far so good, but I noticed that ssmtp only
sends to recipients specified on the commandline. CC: and BCC:
in the mail are ingnored. except for that, ssmtp is just what I
need: SIMPLE. I don't want to install smtp deamons, mail
queues, etc, just to be able to *send* mail.
My question: can I use qmail to do this, without replacing the
existing sendmail. (I need it for fetchmail, and procmail, and I
really don't want to mess around with that) I just want a simple
(sigh..) utility that reads a mail on stdin, understands it, and
then talks to a remote smtp server.
BTW, I'm not on the list, please CC to me.
thanks :-)
Christoph
