Thank you as I believe this will do the job much more
intuitively than exim4. Should I reset exim4 back to local
delivery since it does still need to be able to handle squawks
and status messages for cron jobs and other self-generated
shreaks and howels (bells and whistles gone wrong).
I never had a .mailrc file on this system before but it
is going to have to know that sendmail is now msmtp. I looked at
sendmail's link after installing msmtp and it still points to
exim4 so nothing got changed system-wide.
msmtp --serverinfo now gives me a banner page from
smtp.suddenlink.net listing capabilities. Interestingly, they
list SSL ports in their documentation but the server says it
can't do starttls. The banner page came in on port 25.
