Fixed! Re:Sendmail won't send through MUA, help!

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   For the record, somewhere between RH7.3 and FC1, letting a user 
forward through SMTP began requiring:

# saslpasswd2 -c <username>

Anywho, I'm back and in technicolor! (Or at least, my MUA is more than a 
darn terminal!)
