sqwebmail needs *some* MTA on the local machine, for the sendit.sh script to work. That MTA needs only to be able to deliver outgoing mail (and to retry if the remote host is down, i.e. have a queue runner process), but it does not need to listen on port 25 at all. However, sqwebmail also needs direct filesystem access to the Maildir where the messages are stored - and if that's a remote machine that means using NFS. That's probably not a good idea through a firewall. If that's what you want to do, maybe you're better off with a different webmail program which uses IMAP to talk to the mailstore (e.g. squirrelmail, horde/imp etc) Brian.
