First, find out what protocol it's really using (some proprietary extension to SMTP, perhaps?). Normally, pine does not communicate via SMTP at all. It should be invoking a local MTA (e.g., /usr/sbin/sendmail) to perform the SMTP mail delivery. So whatever messed-up protocol your "SMTP server" is actually speaking, make sure your local MTA speaks it. Or just bypass your service provider's "SMTP server" altogether. Your copy of exim, sendmail or whatever should be capable of delivering mail to its final destination. (The drawback is that if a message can't be delivered immediately, it will sit in a queue on your local system. If you're not permanently connected to the Internet, you would have to account for this -- there are several methods.) -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." wooledge@kellnet.com | Red Hot Chili Peppers, http://www.kellnet.com/wooledge/ |
