Yup, msmtp works great -- and I already had it installed and
configured, since that's what I use with mutt.  I don't know why I
didn't think of using it instead of fixating on SSL support for SMTP.
I think I'll retire my home-made program (I hadn't fully "daemonized"
it yet).

Of course it took 10-15 tries to figure out the config file syntax. :)

fetchmail kept complaining about "no mail servers have been
specified", but I think in the end the main problem was I was running
it as root.

Thanks for the suggestions.
