The
SMTP
mailer
.
This
is
very
rundamentary
right
now
,
all
of
what
sendmail
does
must
be
implemented
.
This
mailer
does
NOT
canonicalize
the
message
.
This
must
be
done
before
sending
the
message
,
or
it
may
be
assumed
that
the
MTA
will
do
so
.
It
does
blind
out
the
Bcc
:
header
before
sending
,
though
.
Actually
,
I
think
some
things
(
like
date
and
message
-
id
being
inserted
)
will
be
done
by
the
receiving
SMTP
MTA
.
However
,
the
specs
say
we
are
supposed
to
canonicalize
the
mail
before
sending
it
,
not
rely
on
the
receiving
SMTP
agent
to
patch
up
our
mail
.
Hmm
...
which
is
the
right
way
?
Note:
mutt
always
puts
the
recipient
addresses
on
the
command
line
,
even
bcc
ones
,
do
we
strip
the
bcc
before
forwarding
with
SMTP
?
