Weeelll ... let's just say that I don't quite agree with you on all of
those points. I'm not saying that the sendmail MTS _shouldn't_ work;
obviously I'll fix that. It just gets more complicated if you want to
talk to a mail server that requires authentication (yes, I know sendmail
has client-side SASL support - that's not so useful if sendmail has
to run under a user's context to get access to security credentials).
While I haven't encountered any problems with nmh's SMTP code, if you know
of problems with it I'll be glad to fix them.

Oops, yeah, okay, I've committed a fix for that (and for the warning you
mention below, along with missing support for -port in whatnow).
