I use esmtp with mutt (non-BL system). Here's a tip that could help--you might be able to cannibalize an
already-compiled, already-working authenticating smtp program. I use Freesco firewall/router and so keep track of its
development. A new release just came out recently (version 037) and I noted in the changelog that it now includes an
authenticating smtp program. Freesco still uses the 2.0.x kernel and libc5, so I would expect its smtp program to work
with BL. Freesco comes as a single bootable floppy image, so you should be able to download it, mount it as a looped
file system, and copy over from it its smtp program and config file. Not sure what the program is called, but I'm
guessing it will be obvious.
