You might have a look at BIABAM at http://mmj.dk/biabam/ and see it
can do anything for you. I'm also working on a solution for mailing
out attachments from AstLinux. I plan to compile mutt for i586-Generi
tonight. If you want I can send you the binary when I'm done.

I'm using msmtp from astup right now which seems to work as expected.
The problem I am running into is that some application want to use a
MUA to generate the mail before it's sent to msmtp. (I have a kinda
bastardized version of AstLinux that sends out log
notifications/attachments and such via email with msmtp.)

I'd also like my AstLinux box to be able to send asterisk voicemail to
users via email, so I'm hoping to find a solution that will allow that
too.
