I am unsure if modern SMTP servers still support TURN (or ETRN). I think you're going to be on the fringe there, because most people do this: > 2) I can set things up so that the remote VM will run a POP3 server > which I can then (periodically) have something on my home machine > authenticate to and then suck pending messages out of in such a way > that the NMH "inc" command will be able to get them. Personally, that's what I do. Works great. Except that I don't run my own POP server; someone else does that. I suppose you could arrange for mail to get delivered to your client box, but personally I don't see the point. But I suppose it's all what you want to do. >Before answering, keep in mind that I will likely need to configure the >SMTP server on the remote VM (postfix) in such a way that my home machine >will be able to authenticate to it, you know, in order to send outbound >mail.

It looks like Joel gave you some hints there. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
