>Organization:
UUNET Internet Africa
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #1: Mon Feb 15 19:34:06 SAST 1999
>Description:
Currently the mail/nmh port configures nmh to use SMTP as the
delivery method for outgoing mail. This is not ideal, since
many machines will not accept SMTP connections from localhost,
either because they run no listening daemon, or because they're
wrapped up anally.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
By compiling nmh to open a pipe to the mta instead of connecting
to port 25 on localhost, we improve the odds that the software
will work out of the box on any given box.
The following diff makes the required change.
