Removed the MTS and post; now we always use /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

    The default `mts.conf' file assumes you retrieve new mail from
    a local (or NFS mounted) maildrop, and send outgoing mail by
    injecting the message to a mail transfer agent (such as sendmail)
-   on the local machine via SMTP.

-   If, instead, all your mail sending and receiving occurs on a 
-   remote SMTP server, you will need to look at the values of the

-
-    a) "localname" defines the hostname that nmh considers local.
-       If not set, then nmh queries your OS for this value.
-
-    b) "servers" defines the server to which you send outgoing SMTP
-       traffic.

-     Specify the default mail transport system you want to use.  The two
-     acceptable options are "smtp" (which is the default), and
-     "sendmail".  This value will be put into the mts.conf file.  You
-     may find it convenient to specify a value at configure-time,
-     however, so that each time nmh is reinstalled, the right value will
-     be there.
-
-     If you use "smtp", this will enable a direct SMTP (simple mail
-     transport protocol) interface in nmh.  When sending mail, instead
-     of passing the message to the mail transport agent, `post' will
-     open a socket connection to the mail port on the machine specified
-     in the `mts.conf' file (default is localhost), and speak SMTP
-     directly.
-
-     If you use "sendmail", then `post' will send messages by forking a
-     local copy of sendmail.  Currently it will still speak SMTP with
-     this local copy of sendmail.
-
-     If you wish to use a transport agent other than sendmail, you will
-     need to use a `sendmail wrapper'.
