I've done similar in the past, crafting my message according
to RFC 822 and RFC 1521 and piping it to "sendmail -toi".
But then I had a clever admin who configured sendmail for me.
Now I must learn to translate .muttrc:
set smtp_url="smtps://paulgboul...@smtp.gmail.com:465/"
set smtp_pass="(redacted)"
to sendmail.cf.
Or is there a way I could use mutt as a sendmail "proxy" and rely on
what's already in .muttrc?
(sendmail? postfix? ...?)
Thanks,
