I installed sendmail with yum, but wonder if there might be an additional
configuration.
# Pine configuration file
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine. These
# options are usually set from within Pine or PC-Pine. There may be a
# system-wide configuration file which sets the defaults for some of the
# variables. On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated by
# commas. A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line. For a variable to be unset its value must
# be blank. To set a variable to the empty string its value should be "".
# You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the empty string.
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine.
# Over-rides your full name from Unix password file. Required for PC-Pine.
personal-name=HAWAT.THUFIR
# Sets domain part of From: and local addresses in outgoing mail.
user-domain=GMAIL.COM
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses sendmail.
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com/user=hawat.thufir@xxxxxxxxx/ssl/novalidate-cert
# NNTP server for posting news. Also sets news-collections for news reading.
nntp-server=localhost
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
