I even discovered the error: "nsmtp" (forgot the "b").
Tested only once, but it works and is EASY. Only 2-3 minutes to install.
% wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/nbsmtp/6980/url_tgz/nbsmtp-0.8.tgz
% gzip -dc nbsmtp-0.8.tgz | tar xf -
% gcc -o nbsmtp nbsmtp.c -lxnet [tested on Solaris2.6, gcc3.2.1]
% strip nbsmtp
% su
# mv nbsmtp /usr/local/bin
# exit
% rm COPYING Makefile nbsmtp-0.8.tgz nbsmtp.c [Please read before deleting!]
% vi ~/.muttrc [add or modify (all one line)]
`` set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/nbsmtp
-d yourdomain.com -f you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -h smtp.yourdomain.com ''
I would recommend it over ssmtp, if only because there's no need for *conf
file(s). It did seem faster in sending the mail, but need more testing to
verify that.
(Doesn't matter so much though, as I'll be trying Chris's ssh method in
the next couple of weeks.)
