I think it would be a fine solution, too. It would probably make sense for it to use the shell, as suggested elsewhere, and to call it "smtp-command" for consistency with other parts of Git (I'm thinking particularly of GIT_SSH versus GIT_SSH_COMMAND, where the latter was introduced to fix the defect that the former could not provide any arguments). -Peff
