- You're right it isn't that hard, I've configured it now to either use sendmail
- from AmigaUUCP or SMTPpost to spool my messages while offline. Thanks to Michael
- B Smith for his amiga guide file which explained what the environment variables
- are used for RFC compliant mail i.e. which variables are used to define email
- addresses within the Reply-to: and From: headers etc.

- I found your documentation mis-leading "The only program in this package essential
- to Voodoo is the SMTPpost, although using the SMTPd mail daemon can be useful
- under certain circumstances also." Perhaps they're should be some mention of
- preparing messages offline, spooling the messages to the spool directory awaiting
- for the attention of SMTPd once connected. Under these circumstances SMTPd
- is essential.
