RE: sysadmin won't allow linux - PLEASE HELP
FWIW, sendmail can only run in "non-daemon" mode.
It can be invoked locally by other applications when
needed, but doesn't need to run as a daemon and bind
to port 25/TCP.

If you use ssmtp instead of exim/other_complete_MTA you can still send
mail out, but that is all ssmtp does. It is not a deamon either, it
runs when it is called then terminates. I use it on my cygwin (win2k)
box at work so I can use mutt.
