Because that's a 1.6 feature :-)

The allowed values for -mts are, without the quotes: "smtp",
"sendmail/smtp" (or "sendmail"), and "sendmail/pipe", per
mh-tailor(5).  You succeeded with the default of "smtp".  Ken was just
pointing out that because you had tailored your mts.conf to use
another setting, you can override that on the command line, with 1.6.

The default of "smtp" for the mts is coded in configure.  It sounds like
you're overriding that to be "sendmail".

This should work your profile:

    send: -draft -server smtp.gmail.com -port 587 -tls -sasl -user dnc2dnc

Or "-port submission".  And you could include -snoop, but I expect
that's just temporary so can be added on the command line.

As a quick check, after adding a send: line to your profile, it should
show up at the bottom of the output from "send -help".

Thanks for posting the details of how you got your direct submission
to gmail to work.  The setup is common to other providers as well.
