I'm using mutt (right now by typing) on my FreeBSD netbook, connected
via UMTS WAN to my ISP. My mutt drops the mail (this mail) to the local
MTA (sendmail) and this takes care for the transport to the next MX hop,
even if the WAN link is down; the mail gets queued until the link comes
up again. I think this, queuing, is a big advantage over talking SMTP
directly by mutt.
