I work in support and part of what floats my boat is helping other people. If you truly found my answer flippant, I apologize. I tried to explain what the protocols do and don't do and even suggested methods that might work for you while allowing you to continue to use mutt. % % >... Whatever you want!

They talk, as I said in my previous email, directly over a TCP/IP connection to port 25 on a remote server specified in your setup. That is referred to in many circles as "bloatware", where one loads many functions onto one program at the expense of configurability. mutt does not try to talk over a TCP/IP connection (or anything else that you may have in your network) but instead hands it off to a mail transport agent; you can have any MTA you wish. % I just dont want to use sendmail, if i am sending a big email, and i % disconnect, it will stay in sendmail queue, and i dont want that. I want How, if I may possibly ask without offending, would Eudora handle the same problem of disconnecting while sending? At some point you're going to have to make a connection off of your machine and send the bytes over the wire; what's the difference if it's a TCP/IP connection from within your mail program or a TCP/IP connection from a real mail transport agent? % to the simpler, bert solution for desktop freebsd machine for handling % emails. "Best" is clearly an opinion whose definition may differ. Most mutt users would say that letting a mail transport agent, even a very simple one meant purely for sending outgoing messages to another server, do the work is the best instead of having to incorporate additional networking code into a tight, small, fast mail user agent. % thanks again. Hope this helps, once again. :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
