Hi !

I think this is the right place to post this but I'm 100% sure; If it's not, accept my apology.

That guide has has some info about nbSMTP but it is a bit outdated; nbSMTP now supports SMTP AUTH, SSL and all that stuff. So, for example: "For those who are required to submit their username and password to their SMTP server before sending mail, msmtp is a simple alternative." now doesn't make sense. Since you can do it with nbSMTP using -U username -P password in nbsmtp command-line or creating a config file: ~/.nbsmtprc with:

auth_user = username
auth_pass = password

I can update it if nobody wants/can.

Cheers
Ferdy
