+<strong>Don't</strong>. The <span class="file">Sendmail.py</span> module is misnamed - it's really a
+command line based message handoff scheme as opposed to the SMTP scheme used
+in <span class="file">SMTPDirect.py</span> (the default). <span class="file">Sendmail.py</span> has known security
+holes and is provided as a proof-of-concept only<a name="tex2html4"
