I appreciate the daily security output and all that, I don't mind keeping
them. But Sendmail is a very complicated program for the seemingly simple task
of sending mail to a local user. However, I have a .forward file in ~root,
pointing at my internet mail address. Couldn't »mail» or »Pine» or another
email client be used for delivery, using my ISP's SMTP server?
