I know nothing about sendmail, but I always thought of it as a
program that should be running on a network. Isn�t it what an ISP
would use to deliver the users� mail? My computer is not connected
to any other computers through a network. I use a dial-up account
to connect to the Internet. Do I need sendmail then?
