RE: new to the list - sendmailcf
You do not need sendmail for this - pine probably does require an MTA
installed on the system you're using, but all you need is ssmtp, which a
believe is available for slink. ssmtp is a simple MTA (send only) which
just passes mail from your machine to a relay on the internet. It is
much better to use this over something like exim or sendmail if all you
need is a send only MTA to satisfy a program like pine or mutt or elm.
Alternate: you could log in to the mail server and read your mail there.
