Sorry to tell you that, but i have not enough time to maintain pushmail anymore. I don't know if the project will die, or if someone else takes the project over, but currently it is in a frozen state and there is not much hope at the end of the horizont. Sorry for that.
pushmail aims to be the opposite of fetchmail. It can be used to push email messages to an smtp server without the need of configuring the local MTA.
I initially wrote this tool for the MUA mutt, but it should be possible to integrate it in any other MUA that allows you to set the sendmail program to use.
pushmail is portable and was successfully compiled on MacOS, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux machines.
This project is in still in the development process.
feel free to mail

There are at least three other tools available that do the same thing as
pushmail. Similar Tools
| mini_sendmail | mini_sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file and sends a copy of the message found there to all of the addresses listed. The message is sent by connecting to a local SMTP server. This means mini_sendmail can be used to send email from inside a chroot(2) area. |
| smtpclient | smtpclient is a minimal SMTP client that takes an email message body and passes it on to a SMTP server (default is the MTA on the local host). Since it is completely self-supporting, it is especially suitable for use in restricted environments. |
| nbsmtp | No-Brainer SMTP (nbsmtp) is for people who just need a plain old SMTP outgoing-only delivery system. It has just 3 required parameters (and 2 optional ones). |
