To setup "lvu submit";

1. lin esmtp
2. create this file, "/etc/esmtprc". At the minimum it needs;
    "hostname = "your.mail"  or  "stmp.relay.net:25"

3. you can get a bit more involved with esmtprc using additional things like;

    qualifydomain = yourdomain.com
    force reverse_path = %u at yourdomain.com

but I have not used them.

4. That should be all you need to make your modules and submit.
