====== Heirloom Mailx under Linux/BSD ======

Add the following to **~homeuser/.nailrc** to set the default SMTP relay:

<file config ~homeuser/.nailrc>

# Remote SDF SMTP relaying (use SDF 'mkvpm' tool to set auth user:pw):
set ssl-verify="ignore"
set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp=mx.sdf.org:587
set smtp-auth=cram-md5
set smtp-auth-user="sdf_user.sdf.org@sdf.org"
set smtp-auth-password="my_password"''

</file>

The SDF CA is self-signed but can still be used if desired. Retrieve and store
somewhere (ie. under ~/.openssl/) as pem file, then edit **~homeuser/.nailrc** like so:

<file config ~homeuser/.nailrc>

set ssl-ca-file="/home/home_user/.openssl/sdf_self-signed_ca.pem"
set ssl-verify="warn"  # will issue "self-signed CA" warning
...

</file>

Account-specific smtp settings are possible; see the Heirloom Mailx documentation.
