I would like to have it run as a daemon. Is there a way to do that? I tried postfix, but it doesn't compile out of the box (it doesn't know what OS "CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.6(0.47/3/2)" is) and it this is more of a "lets see if I can get this to work" type of project, not something I must get working. From my reading of the man page it appears that ssmtp does not run as a daemon, it needs to be called by MUA to send that mail. Is this correct?
