As one who has struggled with UW-IMAPD for a while now, can you recommend any in particular? My situation is mail being stored on my FreeBSD server (accepted with Sendmail), and read there with Alpine; I SSH into it from the MacBook. I'd like to set up tasks on the Mac to email myself on the FreeBSD box (I loathe gooey MUAs with a passion), but the moment I start iMail (or whatever it's called), it pulls the rug out from underneath Alpine. I merely want to send mail from the Mac, not read it there. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Bliss is a MacBook with a FreeBSD server." http://www.horsfall.org/spam.html (and check the home page whilst you're there) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
