If your shell is bash then zou can create aliases. Write in .bashrc something

This allows you to type cd on the command line to go 3 directories up.

Probably not. What you probably should do in your case is to tell exim to
listen only to 127.0.0.1.
ssmtp is not designed to store mail locally on the system. It moves
responsiblity for storing local mail to the MUA.

To clarify my last response.
Lets say you have a windows workstation with Eudora. It keeps its own
outbox, inbox and folders.
ssmtp allows you do so much the same thing with a Unix workstation. You
set up your mail client ... say ... xfmail ... to pull the mail from your
