Alpine gives me the "No default posting command" error, which makes no
sense since no config file contains a "posting command". I have no idea
what this is supposed to mean. Could someone please enlighten me.
(I am using the same .pinerc that works fine with pine.)

Pine's help about smtp-server might enlighten you. Do you have this option
set up?

On the same computer?

Also look at Mr. Chappa's webpage for help/info about alpine/pine.
Lots of help/info/patch & shoule be checked first & not panic like
I did about qmail-style & maildir.

Yes. On the same computer. It seems that I MUST have the
sendmail-command set in .pinerc. If it is unset there but set in
/etc/pine.conf (or unset in both in which case alpine is supposed to use
the default sendmail -oem -t ) it makes no difference and alpine cannot
send out mail.
If I define it in .pinerc, things work. Ie, .pinerc seems to unset the
sendmail-command if it is not explicitly set there. That is rediculous and obviously
a bug.

Where do I sent bug reports to?

There's probably a link from Alpine's webpage!
Here it is: http://www.washington.edu/alpine/commentform.html
Or there are mailing lists.
