"sendmail" interface for JAMES

["Noel J. Bergman" <no...@devtech.com>]

On *nix, tools and scripts expect /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail as
a general rule, with a relatively simple interface.  MTAs such as postfix,
exim and others all provide a "sendmail" to satisfy this expectation.

I was thinking that we ought to provide a suitable sendmail interface as
part of our JAMES distribution.  At the moment, I am writing a simple one in
python, but thought to post up and ask what everyone else thinks.  Do any of
us already have such a beast?  I suppose that we could write one in Java
using JavaMail, but we'd still need a shell script to launch it, and we
don't really need the tool to work anywhere other than *nix, where the
requirement exists.
