To clarify, I did not write the above words. I use fetchmail and exim to get mail from a POP server (fetchmail) and deliver it via my mail spooling system (exim). I use exim to act as my outgoing mail server as well, thus providing mail delivery services in both directions. Dale, to echo the above sentiment, why can't you run exim or some other MTA on your box and then use a SMTP server of localhost in pine? It'll deliver mail regardless of the ISP you're connected to.
