That's quite unfortunate. IIRC, when you first set up a Mac, the setup programs asks you for your ISP settings, so I was hoping that I could tap into that interface. I also seem to recall that in a previous version of Mac OS X, these settings were in a System Preferences pane.

$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist has information on the hosts in the MailAccounts element.


Anyway, the application is not phoning home. It is facilitating work on a group project that has some parts that require long computations. So it performs a long task and then notifies whomever the user wanted when the task is done, so that the next person who needs to work on the project knows that their piece is ready to be worked on.

It sounds to me like a good use of sendmail. Any kind of networked notification system will run into Murphy snags every long once in awhile; the sendmail technique is very easy and will work for the vast majority of folks.
