You can configure it so that any mail message dropped into an IMAP subfolder named (e.g.) "Outbox" will be auto-sent - i.e. piped into /usr/sbin/sendmail. Completely removes the need for SMTP. Of course, it would really require all MUAs to be rewritten to "hide" this technical backend skulduggery from the end-user. They should just be able to hit "Send" as usual. --  Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Sendmail is an SMTP server. -- Gino Cerullo Pixel Point Studios 21 Chesham Drive Toronto, ON  M3M 1W6 T: 416-247-7740 F: 416-247-7503
