(in response to Robert Broen's question about sending email via smtp.mac.com):


You should be able to use the following setting for your smtp-server in ~/.pinerc:


smtp-server=smtp.mac.com/user=YOURUSERNAME


(Replace YOURUSERNAME with your .Mac user name.)


If you get an error message about an invalid certificate, you may want to try appending novalidate-cert, which tells Pine to accept smtp.mac.com's SSL certificate, even though it cannot be verified by a certifying authority:


smtp-server=smtp.mac.com/user=YOURUSERNAME/novalidate-cert
