That is only true for a server machine. It would be unusual to have an SMTP daemon listening on port 25 on a workstation machine. Howver, sendmail (as a client) should be available (and configured to know how to forwrad mail to an SMTP server). Have a look at common/sendmail.py in NetEpi CaseMgr if you are interested to see how we do it (http://www.netepi.org). There may be more robust ways than what we are doing, or course.
