Hi,

I suppose mutt should work, if it supports sendmail-style options.
Smokeping calls sendmail as

# <sendmail-program> -f <from-address> <to-address>

so there's nothing fancy there.

The tSmoke '--testmail' option is unfortunately misnamed. It apparently
doesn't really send anything, just tells where the mail would go.
I think I'll fix this for the next release. Meanwhile, I guess you
can test with eg. '--morning' just as well.

Cheers,
