Alternatively, as some others have suggested, you may configure
smpt-server instead to make Pine send the message to your SMTP server
instead of waiting for sendmail. I used the following in my
/etc/pine.conf and /etc/pine.conf.fixed (I couldn't decide...<grin>):
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses sendmail.
smtp-server=localhost
This fixed the problem for me. It works great with both smail and exim.
BTW, I found the following in /usr/doc/pine/tech-notes/config-notes.html:
SMTP Servers
It is sometimes desireable to set smtp-server=localhost instead of
setting sendmail-path to overcome the inability to negotiate ESMTP
options when sendmail is invoked with the -t option. Sendmail can also
be subject to unacceptable delays due to slow DNS lookups and other
problems.
Hope this helps. :)
