[Nmh-workers] Success in submitting mail to a secure MTA (was Re: should nmh be an MTA or an MUA?)

Unless I've misunderstood, this is a problem that was discussed and
solved on comp.mail.mh a couple of years ago.

Not sure how it worked since SASL support is not available
when using sendmail as your mts delivery method.  I.e.  If
the SMTP server requires user/pass authentication, sendmail-based
deliver will not work.

The script:

  #!/bin/sh
  openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -quiet

Will create a SSL connection to Gmail servers, but user authentication
is still required.

Hacking the nmh code to support sasl for sendmail delivery, it appears
I got some success.  I just cut-n-hasted code from smtp_init()
into sendmail_init().  To avoid a bogus getpeername() call since
sendmail method is not a socket, I just specified the server name in
my .mh_profile.

I also modified the code so a user can override or augment the
mts.conf with environment variables.  I should be able to specify
a custom sendmail wrapper script (in this case to create SSL connection
to gmail) w/o effecting all users on the system.

I was unable to get TLS connections to work.  openssl kept erroring
out, but smtp.gmail.com:465 worked.

To get 'whom' to work, I had to add sasl option support to whom.c.

What follows is the diffs to the sources I did.  The diffs
also includes changes to Makefile.in since I think it is wrong
to overwrite existing configuration files when installing
stuff.  The norm appears for packages to write the "new"
files to something else (eg. <file>.rpmsave).  In the change
I made, if the new file differs from what is installed, it
writes the new file with a ".dist" extension.
