Mutt does need a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) of some kind. I'd suggest installing ssmtp or nullmailer, as they are much easier to configure and are designed purely to grab your mail and pass it on to your network's or ISP's SMTP relay. ssmtp does not queue mail though, so I'd only use it if you have a permanent connection. -Mary. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
