Maybe "sendmail/smtp" and "sendmail/pipe"? With just
"sendmail" meaning "sendmail/smtp"? To me that's a

I like those. I just had some quality airplane time and was
able to wrap up the addition of "pipe". It's committed. I
got your message after, I'll change the names this week.
spost is still there so nothing should be broken.
- It occurs to me that some of these things should be
overrideable via mh_profile (like the path to sendmail).
Just saying :-)
And an -mts command line option would help with the
migration away from spost, which could then just exec "post
-mts sendmail/pipe".
- It should be made clear in the man pages that in the
"pipe" or "sendmail/pipe" case that it's impossible to
set the envelope-from address.
Is what's already in the send(1) man page sufficient, starting
with "When using SMTP for mail submission?"
- Are we going to have some notification at runtime for
those people who put "spost" in their postproc a couple
of decades ago for some long-forgotten reason? :-)
That could go in the neutered spost, just before it execs
post.
