I was actually wondering about local spool and local maildir delivery. For example, a default install of Mandrake Linux with Pine and Postfix will allow users to fire up Pine and immediately send to and receive from other local users. I know Pine would have to deposit outgoing messages in <MAIL_ROOT>/spool/temp, but what about receiving?
