The standard MTAs didn't provided the flexibility I needed -- - they either failed to deliver the mail directly or failed to authenticate - with the relay, or were configured system-wide and conflicted with the local - MTA. - - <> always worked fine to get email, but I needed a <> - alike program to send email from <>. Basically I wanted a program - which could be for SMTP what <> was for POP3, i.e., an user - configurable MTA with authorization support. - - Some small modifications to the <<>> example from <> did - the trick.
