In the process of building a Cygwin version of Mutt, I realized that I needed sendmail or at least a SMTP client only MTA. Through some links off of the Mutt home page, I found sSMTP. The latest version of sSMTP can be found at: ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/mail/mta/ssmtp-2.38.7.tar.gz sSMTP built OOTB under Cygwin. However, sSMTP does not provide a configure script, so I needed to fiddle with it a little: 1. install in /usr/local instead /usr (needed to edit Makefile) 2. prevent From: header overwriting (needed to edit ssmtp.conf) Other then the above configuration issues, sSMTP has been working great for months now. The only other alternative that I can offer is the Win32 native SMTP client called blat. We have been using it for years to send ourselves the status of our nightly (Legato Networker) backups. You can find blat at: http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corporation Fax: +1 (732) 264-8798 82 Bethany Road, Suite 7 Email: Jason.Tishler@dothill.com Hazlet, NJ 07730 USA WWW: http://www.dothill.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
