Ok, I give it a try: The original 'smtpmail' script works for me as
follows:

  # BS_EV_mailhost=servername; export BS_EV_mailhost
  # smtpmail suppressed
  some test
  [^D^D]

(if INPUTFILE is not set, smtpmail reads from STDIN).

HOWEVER, smtpmail uses the hard-coded sender "bigsister" which is a real
bad idea since many MTAs will not accept unqualified/unresolvable
senders. Have a look into your maillog ...

Best regards,
Tom
