Setting the DS flag on your local sendmail and smarthosting through your

Argh ... mutt on NT?

And on a dialup especially, sendmail + fetchmail hangs. So, procmail ;)

MDA - it is a non-interactive pop client which functions as a rudimentary
mda (in multidrop mode) or hands off to more sophisticated mdas like
procmail.
