This is quite a big change, so I haven't released yet.

This assumes that $mailprog accepts "-f $sender" on the command line,
but users with mailprogs that don't can just leave $postmaster blank
and set the sender directly in $mailprog, so that's OK.

The external nms_sendmail script is fine when it's working, but
impossible to debug on a Win32 shared web server, since the error
message always seems to get lost somewhere when it dies.

Direct SMTP from within FormMail.pl doesn't have this problem, so now
we'll get a meaningful error message if the SMTP conversation fails.

And it's easier to set up than nms_sendmail.
