NAME
     aerc-sendmail - sendmail configuration for aerc(1)

SYNOPSIS
     aerc can defer to sendmail for the delivery of outgoing messages.

CONFIGURATION
     Basic  sendmail  configuration  may be done interactively with the :new-ac-
     count command.

     In accounts.conf (see aerc-accounts(5)),  the  following  sendmail-specific
     options are available:

     outgoing = </path/to/sendmail>
	 This  should be set to the path to the sendmail binary you wish to use,
	 which is generally /usr/sbin/sendmail. aerc will execute it with a list
	 of recipients on the command line and pipe the message  to  deliver  to
	 stdin.
