Re: trouble sending with 1.5.16

[Greg Novack <gmnovack@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to those who suggest SASL.  I will try this.  I would rather not install 
yet more libraries if I don't have to.  A unix-'locate' search reveals that I 
have some "stuff" in the folder /usr/lib/sasl2 and some files 
/usr/lib/libsasl2*.dylib.  Does anyone know off the top of their heads if those 
will work?

Also, why is it that the new built-in smtp requires SASL (if in fact it does) 
while msmtp does not?

Thanks,
GMN
