FYI: Courier-IMAP has had this feature for some time. You can configure it so that any mail message dropped into an IMAP subfolder named (e.g.) "Outbox" will be auto-sent - i.e. piped into /usr/sbin/sendmail. Completely removes the need for SMTP.
Of course, it would really require all MUAs to be rewritten to "hide" this technical backend skulduggery from the end-user. They should just be able to hit "Send" as usual. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
