I am still trying to find a command-line mail agent that works with
Bell Sympatico.
What's wrong with pine/mutt/emacs? As long as the ISP's servers speak
SMTP and POP3/IMAP, there should be no problem with any sensible Mail
User Agent.
pine relays to sendmail. sendmail doesn't work because Bell blocks
direct smtp.
I've used Pine for five years on my own computer, and I don't run sendmail.
It's all a matter of configuring pine.
Sympatico should release enough information for you to do it. If they
don't, it can't be a good ISP. That you are running Linux has no
relevance, unless you start asking them where you are supposed to
plug in their values into Linux.

I have downloaded and [installed] Exim, but I have not found how to
configure it to use the SMTP server as relay.
Wait, what? Are you sure you need a Mail Transfer Agent? Most people
don't need or want one. For general Exim configuration, one of the
first places you should look is http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/FAQ/ , as
there's a lot of helpful junk in there. I think Q0304, "How do I
configure Exim to send all non-local mail to a gateway host?" is what
you want to look at.
Shall look at it.
