Aargh. No. It _can_ be performed with sendmail (or exim - in the current discussion we've been discussing exim but no mention has been made of the fact that exim installs itself with the synonym 'sendmail'). But there's absolutely no reason not to use SMTP for queuing local mail if your preferred MUA can't pipe to a native program (fairly common). If exim is configured not to accept SMTP connections except from the local subnet (common for this kind of laptop setup) and you have appropriate firewall rules, there's nothing to fear from letting exim use SMTP to queue local mail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
