You wouldn't even need SMTP for your IMAP client! yawn. get with the new century old man :) from my courier-mta imapd config file: ##NAME: OUTBOX:0 # # The next set of options deal with the "Outbox" enhancement. # Uncomment the following setting to create a special folder, named # INBOX.Outbox # # OUTBOX=.Outbox ##NAME: SENDMAIL:0 # # If OUTBOX is defined, mail can be sent via the IMAP connection by copying # a message to the INBOX.Outbox folder. For all practical matters, # INBOX.Outbox looks and behaves just like any other IMAP folder. If this # folder doesn't exist it must be created by the IMAP mail client, just # like any other IMAP folder. The kicker: any message copied or moved to # this folder is will be E-mailed by the Courier-IMAP server, by running # the SENDMAIL program. Therefore, messages copied or moved to this # folder must be well-formed RFC-2822 messages, with the recipient list # specified in the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers. Courier-IMAP relies on # SENDMAIL to read the recipient list from these headers (and delete the Bcc: # header) by running the command "$SENDMAIL -oi -t -f $SENDER", with the # message piped on standard input. $SENDER will be the return address # of the message, which is set by the authentication module. # # DO NOT MODIFY SENDMAIL, below, unless you know what you're doing. # SENDMAIL=/usr/bin/sendmail EOQ This what you were looking for? -- Munir Nassar
