Yes, no opposition from here, that is somthing for the MUA configuration though. The System itself needs a simple localy functional MTA to send messeges to its users etc. That is a nice feature MUA should be configured for it by default. The MTA should just work seamlessly out of the box though. MTAs doing network requests when configured to be local-only have certainly a configuration bug. > while away.

I think my notebook needs a network filesystem /home with disconnected operation that syncs up automaticly ;-) (intermezzo, reiser4?) Personaly I prefer receiving (SMTP) or fetching (pop3) mail localy and use IMAP only within the lan or in environments where allways-on connections are available (VPN etc.). Never liked imap on notebooks with sometimes only occasionaly dial-up. Cheers, Christian
