Squirrelmail IS NOT An e-mail SERVER! Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail, those are mail server MTA they recieve and transport e-mail. Squirrelmail is a Mail client (from the main documentation page: "SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation.")

I am not asking anyone to change the behaviour! I am trying to understand why that behavior exists and what/if anything I can do about it. And please post replies to the list.
