i emerged a package called smtpclient
but i cant figure how to use it to send mail to anyone.
obviously, i will need to figure out the smtp server of whoever, say hotmail. (btw how do i find that out)
but say i want to send my email to foobar@hotmail.com
the program option does not have a place for the reciever ![Shocked 8O](images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) _________________ I do what I want, and that's what I do.
