I want to run mutt without it using my installed postfix, but another dedicated, external SMTP server instead. I use postfix on the box to test things out (like dspam, RBLs, various policy servers & content-filters) and I don't want to have to adjust postfix parameters or rely on it to be running just to be able to send email with mutt. Another scenario (that doesn't apply to me but could apply to others) would be that I want to use my ISP's mail server for my email reading program, and I also want to be able to use postfix for internal LAN use. I wouldn't want to run 2 postfix instances or configure postfix to use my ISP as its relayhost which would interfere with other functionality as well as be overly complicated. --- Chris Covington IT Plus One Health Management 75 Maiden Lane Suite 801 NY, NY 10038 646-312-6269 http://www.plusoneactive.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
