It depends on how the firewall is configured. With usual masquerading, you can download mails from remote POP server (port 110) and send mails to remote host (port 25), as long as the firewall don't block outgoing ports. I think Mutt now has POP3 support directly, but it still needs Sendmail or something to deliver the mail. -- William Park, Open Geometry Consulting, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8-cpu Cluster, Hosting, NAS, Linux, LaTeX, Python, vim, mutt, tin
