You might be right, however... I hoped that using smtpd would ensure
such things like solution for possible errors during sending, queueing
of mail when offline, etc (and the user mail agent would just pass the
mail itself, the name of the server to relay it to, and where to get
credentials from [or just pass them, too]). But, reading the answers,
it probably cannot be easily arranged like that.

(Btw., I am not against text-only user interfaces. I am writing this in
mu4e, though I am thinking even about mblaze tools [but that has its own
problems], or some plan9 [9front] tools. Unfortunately, a good solution
for email is still something out of my reach.)


Thanks
Ruda
