Subject: [sup-talk] Setting the Outgoing mail server

Hey!

Quick question - how can I set the outgoing mailserver? I'm trying to  
get gmail to work in sup. So far I can read emails, but not send them.

Thanks,
Ari

sup is a mua and relies on an MTA sendmail-compatible (something big
like postfix or something light like esmtp etc) for outgoing mail. sup
calls sendmail when you press y.

Sup doesn't speak SMTP directly, and instead hands off outgoing emails
to an external program. You can set this call in the :sendmail option of
~/.sup/config.yaml.

There's a pretty good section on the wiki[1] on how to configure various
mailers to do the right thing.
