I'd like to use be able to have an MTA under cygwin as well...
I looked at ssmtp, but as I understand it, ssmtp can only send
to an existing smtp server.
From my laptop, I'm on so many different networks, and everytime
I move, I have to reconfigure the outgoing mail host. I want
to be able to sendmail directly from my laptop... any ideas on
how to handle this?
TIA
