Re: Please consider replace src/dist/nvi with nvi2

What version of nvi did you start with?
nvi-1.79 in FreeBSD's src/contrib/nvi
OK, thanks.
/usr/sbin/sendmail is the traditional way for programs to
submit email, and it usually works well. What problem did you
have with that, and what is your solution in more detail?
As I said in my previous email, I wrote something wrong
here. What I did is to use socket(2) to send recovery mails
in nvi's :preserve command, which used _PATH_SENDMAIL
before. virecover still uses sendmail, +uudecode in my version.
Do you mean that you open a socket to TCP port 25 and speak SMTP
over it? I would certainly not want that. I don't have anything
listening on port 25, but I do have a working /usr/sbin/sendmail.
I see that the version of nvi in NetBSD invokes "sendmail -t"
(in the rcv_email() function in src/dist/nvi/common/recover.c).
It might be a good idea to add the "-odq" or "-odb" options
to make it faster. I don't think it makes a difference with
postfix sendmail, but with sendmail sendmail, "-odq" should make
it just queue the message, and "-odb" should make it deliver in
the background. The default is set in sendmail.cf, and might be
equivalent to "-odf", to deliver in the foreground.
