FWIW: I just "audited" the link() calls w/ grep. With my previous
patch, "CFLAGS=-DHAVE_LSTAT=0" and "|| linkerr == ENOSYS" added to
line 182 of folder_addmsg.c, I now have a nmh build that (essentially)
never calls link(). (There are still calls to link() in send.c and
whatnowsbr.c, but they are used by dist which I don't use.)
Running it over sshfs is of course a bit slower than just using ssh,
but it allows me to run exmh (over broadband) faster.
off to convince sendmail to relay via SMTP-AUTH over port 587...
