Well, if you have a "smarthost" (a machine where sendmail directs all non-local outgoing mail, as is typical for personal workstations), you can just as well configure smtpmail to connect directly to the smarthost. - But: be aware that many Unix system programs use sendmail behind your back (cron, sudo, ...) and it will be _lots_ of work to make them do something else. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
