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
