Most non-queueing SMTP clients are, shall we say, optimized for Linux. Getting the native-code ones to compile on Solaris is not an enjoyable exercise. If you're using Solaris 2.6, you're probably not on dialup (or wireless). What's wrong with a full MTA like sendmail that's simply not running a listener? Very likely the sendmail that ships on Solaris 2.6 will work fine, as old as it is. I wouldn't run it as a server, but as a client it should be okay. Plus you get an outbound queue in case of problems. Sendmail is very common on Solaris, so even if you do need to compile it shouldn't be much of an issue, and if you're not running a listener you don't really need to be very conscious of security issues (in case you're one of those who feels that sendmail is fatally flawed, security-wise). -- -D.
