sending mail with pine
I installed pine and I tried to send a test e-mail and I got pine completely blocked. I believe pine wants some features that ssmtp doesn't have. I did ln -s /usr/sbin/ssmtp /usr/sbin/sendmail, but I'm not sure If this is right. Is there any document on how to send mail with pine?

Hola Marcos, I've always had a direct connection to an smtp server, and that's the way I've sent mail. Try to see if adding the name of the smtp server you want to use to the smtp-server variable in your .pinerc works. You may need to add it in the form smtp-server = name.smtp.server/user=yourid if it needs authentication, or if the id of your smtp server is different than the account name you have in cygwin. Let me know if this works or not.
