Re: Gnome-Bugs and SMTP

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Just use pipe() to fork off a copy of sendmail to do this.  This is the
best way to do it, and will do the correct thing on machines with weird
mail forwarding requirements.  Look at what the current gnome-bug script
or the cddb-submit program in gnome-media do to handle this.
