Thank you. That is great to know. I happen to use nmh to read
and send messages. The newest versions of nmh which is a very
old application but extremely safe from a security standpoint
allow one to modify the From: line in the message. I am
upgrading the system I use for email to jessie so I can upgrade
nmh. If that still fails to satisfy the authentication
requirements, it is good to know of msmtp. I'm always looking
for a bigger hammer, so to speak.
