Correct, `` set sendmail="/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp" '' should work fine. It
does for me, anyway.
The program "ssmtp" was the first sendmail-substitute I could get to work.
I compiled with the -DMAILHUB define, and also made a valid ssmtp.conf file.
Did you define "mailhub" and "hostname" in ssmtp.conf, and place that file
where ssmtp can find it? Did you mention Solaris? I had to add a header
file to ssmtp.c to get it to build: "#include <netdb.h>".

Even though I have ssmtp working, I worry about its not being supported/
available in the future. "nbsmtp" didn't show up for me in my searches;
would you mind pasting the URL where you downloaded the source from? TIA
