Does the FAQ need a section of tweaks for email clients?

I tried to use 'alpine' on OpenBSD 6.0 with the standard SMTPD therein.

A pkg_add'ed 'alpine' just sits there trying and trying until you go into

        Main-Menu -> Setup -> Config

and change the SMTP server to 'localhost'. I have never had to do that
in my life with 'alpine' on any other system that has used sendmail or
postfix.

How many other email clients need tweaking for OpenSMTPD?

It's probably due to the default sendmail flags used by alpine :
smtp_msa_flags="-bs -odb -oem"

Yes.

I'll have a look at the port today, there's a configure option to change the
defaults.

Then the knowledge gets hidden into the configuration build of the port.

The fix was easy, just hard to find.
