I'm used to using smtp-server= to tell alpine to use sendmail, but this doesn't work with the alpine-2.00-1.el5.x86_64 package. I think I'll have to use sendmail-path=/usr/sbin/sendmail ... This part of the alpine documentation hasn't changed since v1.10. Is it a change in the package ? -- Dr. Andrew C.
